    Woohoo! I managed to retract all landing gear and no fluid. I can't believe this basic thing was missed in the pdi. Put two quarts and works like a charm. Still need a little more fluid. The last slide didn't quite make it all the way out. Thanks so much for everyone's help. I thought I was doing something wrong. Auto level worked perfect as well. Lessons learned. Thanks again.

    Great information. I learned from this topic too.
    Good idea. Even better - mount a voltmeter near your control panel - just tap it in to 12v somewhere. Not 100% accurate, but you'll quickly learn to tell if your converter is charging and approximately what your battery status is. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/LiDiVi-Charge...tmeter+12+volt

    Now back to our regularly scheduled crisis.

    Great advice! I thought I had a bad battery and realized that the battery was fine, just wasn't charging.

    To the OP: For future reference, the main slides on the Momentum are hydraulic. The bedroom slide is electric, Schwintek.

    The hydraulic level and main slides are on the same system. There are self resetting breakers in the front storage where the generator is located that can also be problematic. They are desinged to trip as needed and immediately reset once cool (30 seconds or so). They are $10-15 each and look like a little plastic box (1 inch or so) and have two metal pronges where the incoming and outgoing wires attach. We had one fail causing the level up/slides not to work.

    Glad the low fluid was the culprit this time. Good tool to have is a voltage meter so you can troubleshoot.

    Yeah I figured out the bedroom slide was electric. I knew the main was hydraulic and linked to the levels because none of it worked. Now that I have two batteries I might just link them together. Should I hook them up positive to positive or in line positive to negative.

    I believe you want them parallel, otherwise your voltage will be 24v.

    If you have 12v batteries see the black batteries in the photo. It's a 12v system so you want to maintain 12v.

    So the voltage stays the same. I assume it will just last longer before it falls.

    Correct. You don't typically get a drop in voltage with two batteries. The Level Up system can be taxing on just one battery IMHO.
