I have a 2002 Montana and the main 30 amp fuse keeps tripping when retracting the slide outs. Everything worked well at home but when we got to the campground the problem surfaced. After exhausting the local fuse supply I was able to retract the living room slide. The fuse at the hydraulic motor for the slides never blew.Spent the weekend in a hotel.
I stopped at a RV dealer and explained my issue and the mechanic said it sounds like a bad converter.When we got home I replaced the fuse with a breaker type blade fuse. When we got home I extended the slides, bedroom is small and moves easily and the living room is much slower. When the living room slide hit the end of extension the hydraulic motor stayed on and labored after a few seconds 30 amp breaker/fuse tripped. Could the slide out limiter switch be bad?
If there was a bad hydraulic motor I would assume the fuse at the motor would trip.
I am contemplating replacing the converter with a new more state of the art one to see if that solves the problem.
Trying to save a trip to a local dealer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
