    The slides on your Solitude are hydraulic and the motor is DC - no breaker on the panel for it. That means the slides are dependent on battery power. - not AC shore power. There should be an 80 amp DC breaker in the front compartment near the hydraulic pump motor you could check. You haven't accidentally knocked the battery cut-out into the "Off" position, have you? I did that once loading large plastic tubs in the basement and it took me forever to figure it out...

    The slides work off DC. Did you check the DC side of the panel? It seems like a fuse blew since both slides are out.

    The current draw for the landing gear/leveling system is way to high for a panel-mounted fuse. The breakers for these systems are large, in-line DC units mounted in the front compartment near the hydraulic pump motor.

    I will add to this thread by stating that I had a very similar situation in a 20 hour old, to me, 2022 Solitude. Slides stuck out leveling jacks inoperable, stuck attached to my truck. Checked all of the above. Turns out one of the gorillas at the dealership initially connected the batteries with the polarity reversed. That in turn blows the two reverse polarity fuses on the converter/charger. Everything works until the batteries die. There is no indication of this to the average user until they dig into the rats nest under the floor behind the panels in the pass through. Two new fuses later all is good with that problem.
    I left the Forum due to dictatorial administration
