I had never driven a Motor Home before except for a 15 min test drive the day of the purchase. Wife followed me the 80 miles home and I made it without incident.Really enjoy the home and am looking forward to “seeing America”.
Today took the grand kids to see the home and dropped the overhead bunk. They were real excited ( 4 and 8 year old) and thought the overhead bunk was great.
As we were leaving the bunk would not retract. Turned the key on the controller back and forth, turned truck motor on and off, tried to push up on the bed while wife pushed the retraction button …but nothing. Called service department at Dealer and they said there was a control box in the cabinet by the Driver side. Found the box and there was a window in the box where you could put an ball point pen and push it 6 times and hold it on the seventh time until some lights come on to reset the controller.Tried this but no lights came on.
I then checked to see if all the wires going into the controller were secure. At that time I discovered that the J7 Red Power input wire and the J8 Ground input wire ( see picture) were barely connected. Apparently the wire to plug in the power and wire was not long enough to connect to the Controller and only the tips of the connectors were touching.Service tech recommended unscrewing controller and moving it an inch to the left. It worked to move the controller and I was able to securely connect the power and ground and retract the bed.
If anyone has overhead bed issues you may want to check the controller connections.
Otherwise looking forward to my new home away from home.

Welcome to the 29M family!!! Have a great time with your new MH and come back here often. There are a lot of good ideas floating around here and you will always find a helping hand or two with the members.
We bought our Windsport 29M from MHSRV and loved our experience too. Well done!!
