OMG, can't believe a tech is that stupid! Never, ever, extend slide without jacks down, that is just asking for a problem!!!

Someone stated the slide system counts revolutions, that is EXACTLY correct and why you hold the switch for an extra 3-5 seconds. There is an overload switch that protects the motors, so holding switch down will NOT harm them.

Our Tuscany required engine running to operate jacks and slides, our gas coach won't extend the slide with key on, safety interlock.

If you try to put transmission in gear it beaps loudly and won't go unless jacks are up. Once saw someone several years ago drive off with jacks down, bent all four which had to be removed before he could go anywhere. I asked him if it beeped when he put it in gear, he said yes but didn't think it was anything important!!! Expensive lesson on warning signals.

I would find a better tech somewhere else cause that one is dangerous!
The mother of stupid is always pregnant!!!
