Good Job Getting that Multi-meter.
I recently experienced the same issue(s). The problem was a dead 12v battery (our disconnect switch got turned off). Your multi-meter reading of 12.4v is low, if your generator is running you should be seeing readings of at least 13.2v.
Your best bet is to attach jumper cables (or a good Jump Box) to your battery and bring in the slides.
Unfortunately, you will also find you have a second problem with your Landing Gear Control. By testing the Landing Gear with a dead battery, there is a good chance that you have blown the "in-line" fuse for your Landing Gear (mine blew). The in-line fuse is usually located behind the battery under a black plastic cover (sometimes it is not under the cover, but very close by). Pull that fuse and determine if it has blown, if yes, replace the fuse (maybe another trip to the auto parts store) and your Landing Gear should work (maybe keep the jumper cables on it until you get the front raised enough to get under it.
PS: I recommend you carry a good quality Jump box for situations like this, If you drive a Diesel, you are going to need a pretty heavy duty one (I have the Norco GB 150 and it will crank a Diesel with a dead battery).
Good Luck and let us know what the problem turns out to be.David and Peggy

Sounds like a bad inline breaker.

It's a month later so I'm sure you've gotten your answer. We had the exact same thing happen to us and although we were still connected to shore power neither the slides nor jacks would come up.
The cause in our case, the battery switch had inadvertently been turned off. Once that switch was turned to "on" position, everything worked just fine. We were told by Grand Design that even though we're connected to shore power, everything goes through the battery. The battery switch must be turned ON.
Worked for us but sure was a frustrating 30 minutes of going through fuses and everything else we could think of.
Happy Trails and safe travels.
