Slideout Systems

Electric Slide Room(s) (if so equipped)
The mechanical components of the slide out are gear driven. Electric-powered slideout room systems have a manual override to allow you to extend or retract the slideout room(s) in case of a power loss.
Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating your slideout system.

Level the RV prior to extending the slideout
Slideout switches are typically located inside the RV, either in the command center or on the wall.

WARNING
Make sure the interior slideout room path and the slideout room itself is clear of people and objects before operating.
Keep away from the slide rails and gear assembly when the room is in motion. They may pinch or catch on loose clothing causing personal injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION
These guidelines should be followed when using your slideout room:

• Make sure the slideout is in the closed position prior to hooking the unit to the tow vehicle.
• The recreation vehicle must be level before operating the slideout room. Water leaks and other problems could result if the slideout is operated without leveling the RV.
• Do not place excessive weight in the slideout room. It can cause the slide-out room to malfunction and cause damage to the slideout.
• Do not over-extend/retract the slide-out room. Release the switch immediately once the room has been fully extended/retracted. Over extending/retracting the slide out room may result in damage to the stop rod and bracket.
• Additional support jacks are not needed under the slideout. Damage can occur to your slideout room from improper use of aftermarket support jacks.

General Slideout Operation

• The auxiliary battery (customer supplied) must be fully charged and connected. If possible, the RV should be hooked up to 120-volt AC power so the converter operates.
• The RV must be level and the stabilizer jacks in the extended position.
• Slideout switches are typically located inside the RV, either in the command center or on the wall.
• To extend the slideout, locate the slideout control switch and press the OUT section of the switch; hold until the slideout room stops (travel time is approx. 25 seconds).
• To retract the slideout, press the in the section of the slideout control switch and hold it until the slideout is fully retracted.
  Operating the switch after the room is fully extended or retracted may damage the switch and motor.
  After the slideout is extended, visually inspect the slideout and the surrounding area to make sure the slideout has extended properly and has adequate clearance from any outside obstructions.

General Slideout Troubleshooting Checklist
NOTE: For additional troubleshooting information, refer to the specific slideout system detail

If the slideout does not move when the slideout switch is depressed, follow these steps:

• Check the auxiliary battery (customer supplied) for a full charge and good wire connections.
• Check the 12-volt fuse or circuit breaker.
• Check for loose connections at the slideout motor.
  If the slideout still will not operate, follow these steps:
• If the slideout is extended, refer to the section on operating the specific slideout system installed on your RV.
• If the slideout is retracted, leave it in that position.
  If the slideout extends crooked or only one side moves:
• Follow steps on overriding the specific slideout system installed on your RV.
• You may need to push the side that is not sliding to get it to retract all the way.
  Contact your dealer or customer service for repair assistance.

Norco Slideout
The Norco slideout system is a cable-driven slide-out.

• The cables guide the room in or out, while the Accu-Slide mechanism evenly powers the corners keeping the room square.
• Motors and cables are behind the interior fascia board around the slideout opening.
• Cables may stretch over time. Average stretch will be approximately 1/8” but it will not affect the function and does not require adjustment.
• Slideout runs off of the DC power in the RV.
• Rubber wipes prevent debris from entering the unit and actuation guides the bulb seals to close tightly.
• The self-locking motor freezes the room in any position of travel.
• Slideout is supported by rollers or wear bars not the cables. Cables are used to keep the slideout balanced on the rollers.

If the room will not activate, generally there is no 12V power to the drive motor. The motor is equipped with a hex drive override shaft.
This drive can be activated using an electric drill and the flexible shaft provided with each unit (or use a ratchet to actuate the motor) to pull the room in or out. If the motor is functioning, check the room for obstructions.

Norco Slideout Manual Operation

1. Locate the included flexible shaft in your owner’s packet.
2. Attach the flexible shaft to the 1/4” hex fitting on the end of the motor.
3. Attach 1/4” socket & ratchet, or drill to the other end, and turn in the proper direction to move the room.
4. If the cables tighten, and the motor is difficult to turn, REVERSE THE DIRECTION. OVER-TORQUE-ING CAN HAPPEN, RESULTING IN SEVERE DAMAGE.

The Electrical System

The RV electrical system is comprised of two independent electrical systems. One operates off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of 120-volt 60hz AC power. All installations have been made in compliance with industry standards applicable on the date of manufacture. Because the electrical equipment and associated circuitry are engineered into a dedicated system specific to your RV, do not make unauthorized changes or add fixed appliances to it. Changes or additions made after delivery may result in a hazardous condition.
Service and/or modification of the electrical system should only be performed by qualified electrical technicians using approved materials, components, and methods meeting current safety and code requirements. Consult your dealer’s service department for assistance.
To read more about the various components incorporated into the RV electrical system, please refer to the information contained in your Warranty Packet.
For motorized vehicles, consult the Chassis Guide for information pertaining to the chassis drivetrain electrical system.
Electrical System Maintenance
Before working on the electrical system:

• Make sure the inverter/charger (if so equipped) is turned “off” before disconnecting the batteries. Disconnect the shore power cord.
• If equipped with a generator, turn off the generator and disable the automatic generator start functionality (if so equipped).
• Turn off the battery disconnect switch (if so equipped)
• Turn off the 120V main circuit breaker.
• Disconnect the negative 12VDC battery terminal from the battery.

In Case Of An Electrical Fire

EVERYONE SHOULD EVACUATE THE RV IMMEDIATELY:

• Switch the 120-volt main circuit breaker to the “off” position. It is important that everyone knows where to find the main circuit breaker and how it oper-ates.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable(s) at the battery.
• Disconnect the power cord from the shore power receptacle.
• Turn “off” the generator (if so equipped).
  Always have faulty or damaged wiring and electrical components repaired immediately.

Command Center
The command center is typically located inside the entrance door or in the living area of the recreation vehicle, and contains electrical switches and controls. It also may contain the systems monitor (indicates tank levels and battery charge). Command cen-ter configurations and components may vary from model to model.

GFCI Receptacle 
There is a ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) engineered into the electrical system. It is designed to reduce the possible injury caused by electric shock. The GFCI will not protect against short circuits or circuit overloads.
Test all GFCI receptacles monthly:

• Push in the GFCI “TEST” button. The GFCI “RESET” button should pop out indicating the GFCI receptacle has been “tripped” and interrupted 120-volt power.
• Push in the GFCI “RESET” button to restore 120-volt power.
  Contact your independent dealer for assistance if the GFCI “RESET” button does not restore 120-volt power and pops back out.
  A “tripped” GFCI breaker indicates that an abnormally high 120-volt current flow (a ground fault) was detected. All ground faults must be repaired before use of the recreation vehicle. If the GFCI “RESET” button does not restore 120-volt power and pops back out. Contact your dealer for assistance.

Testing the Campsite Power Connection

• Push in the GFCI “TEST” button. The GFCI “RESET” button should pop out indicating the GFCI receptacle has been “tripped” and interrupted 120-volt power.
• Push in the GFCI “RESET” button to restore 120-volt power.
  Contact your independent dealer for assistance if the GFCI “RESET” button does not restore 120-volt power and pops back out.

If the GFCI “RESET” button does not restore 120-volt power and pops back out. Contact your dealer for assistance.

Testing the Campsite Power Connection
The campsite 120-volt power receptacle(s) should always be tested for proper functionality prior to plugging the recreation vehicle shore power cord into it.
Campsite 120-volt power receptacles can be tested using a digital multimeter or a dedicated circuit analyzer. Dedicated circuit analyzers plug directly into the campsite power receptacle and minimally test for open neutral, open ground, and correct polarity. Polarity indicators can be purchased in most electrical and hardware stores.
