We had 2 issues this weekend with our 29.3 and it was just as we were leaving. First the slide wouldn't move or engage, call Thor (we were actually in Elkhart) They had me put controller in bypass mode. That didn't work and they called someone else more familiar with the system. In meantime I called lippert, they told me to jumper 12v to the retract pin on the controller. I opted to wait till hearing from Thor again. In the mean time I had taken loose the RET and EXT wires from the controller to check for voltage, I put them back on and then the slide worked. Thor had me take it by a service guy in LaGrande Indiana and it was on our way home. Of course slide worked great while there and Jay thought perhaps removing the wires had reset the controller. Still a little skeptical on this as the bypass is suppose to let you pull the slide in and it didn't work. :-/ Working ok for now so we will see.

Other thing was once we got the slide in the jacks wouldnt go down. Somehow it went into what they call Latch mode. I had to turn off and back on and press all four arrow keys at once and then jack retract and that worked.

When it rains it pours. Bottom line all is working and I now how to trouble shoot these systems enough to hopefully avoid delay. Also found a guy who I Will most likely take my rv too should I ever have to have factory service even though he is 5 hours from me. Straight up dude with good ethics! Twin Lakes RV Repair. Jay Douglas is the owner 260-562-2372 I highly recommend him if you are in the area and need something done.
