Hi -
I am having issues with my slides and landing gear on my 2019 Solitude 377MBS. The issue is that when I retract either my slides or the landing gear, it trips the 80A breaker, thereby halting the hydraulic motor (and slides / landing gear). I wait a minute or so and the breaker resets and I continue. Eventually, I get the slides and landing gear to where they need to go.
Initially, I went down the path thinking I had a 50A breaker, but turns out I don't. The factory installed an 80A breaker in my unit. I also tested my battery with a load test, which came out fine. But I replaced the battery anyway to be safe. I did notice that my hydraulic fluid reservoir was low, so I topped off the reservoir with ATF fluid. There seem to be some minor leaks at the tops of the front landing jacks, so I tightened those connections up.
I wiped down land gear rods, but did not oil or spray them.
What other areas should I check? Is it possible that the original 80A breaker is going bad? Bad hydraulic motor? Too much friction on the landing gear pistons or slides? Is there something else I should be checking? I probably need to do a load test on the new battery to be safe, but I think I'm missing something else.
Any suggestions on what to do next?
Thanks,
Charlie
