Have not yet read through all, only very quickly skimmed, but wanted to be sure to say THANK YOU for taking the time to respond.

I'm sure I'll find a lot of helpful information and possible direction in here—some of which I may not like as one early responder said. But we are where we are and we have what we have and we need to make it work.

Again thank you and I'll certainly be checking back for other input in the coming days & weeks.
I’ve now watched your video several times. I have a couple of more thoughts. First, you should first level the coach before extending the slide. That way gravity is not working against you. I’m wondering if you’re running the slide before plugging into the pedestal. If not, and my slides won’t extend with the engine running, at 3+ years the batteries may be a little weak and not supplying consistent juice to the motors causing them to lose power (?). Yes the motors are straining. That’s a huge, long, wide, heavy slide. I’d like to know if it operates any differently when first level, on shore power. And I think in other threads, Judge has mentioned some larger slides have 500:1 motors instead of 300:1. 500:1 would move at a slower speed.
