Okay, good luck and let us know.

Any online manuals? Can't get to mine. They're in a drawer blocked by the slide.

One last thing, did you try turning off the battery switch and then back on in case there is an inline auto reset breaker? Otherwise check your voltages tomorrow, GD says the slides are a known issue with low battery voltage, do you have more than one battery?

You said you had 13+ volts so the converter is working. Seems like you're getting a low voltage type situation though.

Maybe a bad battery cell or sulfated. Everything looks like it is charging fine at 13+ volts but when you go to use it you get low voltage.

You can see how the battery handles a small load while watching the voltage while the converter is off (turn off at the breaker). Then remove the load (disconnect switch) and then check the voltage again. If its bad you should have a rather rapid drop and it will stay there. Normal battery will have a voltage drop while the load is applied but then bounce back to its charged level immediately after the load is stopped. That should tell you if it has problems or not.

Sounds like a battery issue.

You do need a good battery to run the hydraulics. That is why plugging in and trying to run the main slides and leveling system did not work.

There is not enough power coming through to run the pump.

Yeah I agree with you guys. Sounds like low voltage. Reading through online manuals says you need a fully charged battery. This battery probably sat on the dealer lot for months uncharged. I'll get a new battery and a cordless drill to slide them out manually just in case.

I'm going to get another battery. Should I just swap it out or pick it up in parallel?

You should bring yours with you and have them run a test on it. If it's bad, you should send the printout to Lazy days, they might pay you back. They were real good to me sending me a check for the cost of my trip to get there; covered food, gas and campgrounds along the way there. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I would agree a battery issue, but another possibility is a bad connection to the slide mechanism. Get the battery tested to be sure. Also occurred to me this morning the most obvious way to rule out the converter is to pull the 12V disconnect and see if any of your 12V lights work while plugged in. Not sure what model you have, but I know both the Schwintek and large slide on mine will run off the converter with no battery.
