Also due to the inherent power of hydraulics a single pump motor is often used to extend retract all slide outs. My rv slideout worked fine earlier and then would not retract in.

But if the pump is running and your slide out is not moving in then there maybe a problem at your retract valve. If the motors are out of sync the slide may not move at all. Othertimes just one side may move which will cause a bind in the gears and not allow it to retract or extend all of the way. I manually cranked it in.

In either instance you will probably find yourself at the mercy of an rv repairman who may or may not have the parts needed for a quick repair on hand. If you re not plugged into shore power while trying to extend or retract your slide outs and they just won t budge check to make sure that your house batteries are fully charged.

Other issues with the slide could be a faulty part such as a burned out motor or faulty wiring. Of course we weren t about to drive home across the state with our slide out. To spot the override and most rvs only need a screwdriver for the brake assembly and a crank handle or a wrench to retract the unit. While running the other motor you push the failed side of the rv slide out in by hand as seen in this video.
