I went out shopping on Monday, looking for an 80 amp reset short stop breaker to resolve
our slide problems. I tried 3 RV dealers and 2 Auto Supply stores here where we live in Canada. All the dealers thought I was nuts, said they had never heard of an 80 amp breaker. Couldn't even special order one. I did the next best thing, I bought a new 50 amp breaker
put it in and cycled both slides in and out 3 or 4 times and it worked just fine.

It as cold as a well drillers knee here and it worked perfectly. I think once a breaker or a reset trips a few times it "weakens" it and they never seem to function properly afterwards.
We are home now from down south and we won't be using the rig now until mid May, but I am hoping the new breaker will work just fine.

Many thanks to those readers for their input and photos. It is at times like this that the
MOC is such a valuable source of info for all Monty owners.
