    OK update is... works like new ! I could hear the difference the second I hit the controls to raise the jacks. Went right up, all of them, not one pause or stoppage. So another project done. Used new 80 amp resetable breaker and swapped out all the 6 guage for 4 guage wiring, hots, grounds and the two from the pump to reverseing switch and back.
    Happy Camper again.
    Thanks one and all for your thoughts and suggestions. You folks are the BEST !!!

    Just FYI... We loaded up our Solitude in Michigan the week before Christmas to head to the Sunshine State. It was in the teens when we raised the jacks and left. Even the 80 breaker tripped a couple of times while raising the jacks because it was so cold...

    Thank you all for the information on this thread (and older threads).

    After 4 years, our Solitude 310GK started having the same issues with the slides and leveling jacks stopping and starting.

    I replaced the breaker with a 60amp as I was not replacing the wiring.

    I simply cut the load line to the pump in 1/2, installed the breaker, and moved the wire on the bus to the right post from the left.

    I am not an electrician, so hopefully I didn't mess anything up!
