2024 Solitude 2930RL Slide Out

[Wolfbee]

Hello, we have a 2024 solitude 2930 RL and the kitchen slide does not work. We had to manually open it up when we got to our campsite. Doesn’t seem to have any power going to it and we can’t seem to find a fuse, there’s no fuse located in the fuse box. Anyone have this issue before?

I know that the fuses for the slide on my 2020 fifth wheel are in the front storage area high on the back wall. There is a fuse for each slide on that control panel. Hope this helps.

Thank you, we looked in the front storage and located that one, but that's for our bedroom slide only. Still in search of fuses for the other slides. It may not have fuses and its just the motor.

I've had the hairpin fall out of the motor shaft on ours. When it's quiet you can hear the motor turning but no motion. Quick drop of the belly and reinstall of the hairpin and all was good. Not sure if that's your problem but something to check. This was on a '21 so not sure if yours would have the same setup.

Are you certain there’s no power to it? I’d lay under the trailer and operate it with the app to listen for the motor. The motor is pretty quiet if it’s not engaging the slide. When my motor broke it wasn’t audible when in the trailer. The motor housing spilt in two in my case.

Very easy to swap these motors if you have access to them. My last trailer had a pre cut square of covering under the motor held in by screws. Hopefully GD does something similar so you don’t have to remove a large part of the underside covering.

This is all based on the assumption this is an electric through frame design. Which I’m guessing from photos of that unit.

We are having the same issue with finding the fuse for our kitchen slide as well, curious if you found yours? And where? Have searched several sites and have looked in recommended areas with no luck. Thank you

We've not had the issue but this may help, the attached doc includes an electrical diagram on page 19 of the rack and pinion slide. as you see the electrical power goes from the battery through one of the reset circuit breakers in the front storage compartment, then through the switch to the motor. Which one of the reset breakers I don't know but I think one with a big white with red striped wire. There is no fuse per say just the reset breaker which is the "fuse". Here is a pic of our reset breakers in the front storage compartment.

If the problem is a mechanical, The attached doc also includes the mechanical portion of the rack and pinion slide. Seems to me that if the slide moves while using the mechanical override, then I would think that the motor is connected to the gear mechanism and it's not jammed up. Not sure how the geared mechanism works inside of the clutch mechanism.

I would start troubleshooting power, If 12VDC power is coming from the battery through the reset breaker, through the switch then out to the rack motor then it should at least turn the motor. What would be left then would be mechanical, motor physical connection to the rack gear mechanism.

Thank you for your information and attachment. Have given this info to hubby, he will be using this to troubleshoot.

Hello, we never found a fuse. But it ended up not being a dead motor, just an unplugged one. We were told by the RV technician that it was a dead motor but I had a feeling he was wrong so we looked into it more and it ended up being just unplugged. It works now!!
