Slides stop before totally open or closed
When I open up the slides get just about completely out when they stop. I release the switch, wait a second and push again and finish extending teh slides. Upon retracting, the same thing happens. They are just about retracted when all stops. I release the switch, wait a second a finish the job. Any idea what is going on? I checked the pump and reservoir and the pump is cool to the touch and the fluid level is right. Battery seems to be alright but would it do this if it was weak? Does the same if on shore power or not. Any help would be appreciated!

It's probably your cicuit breaker located in the front compartment. There has been much talk about this topic. If you do a search, you should find info how to correct it. I've read that some have installed two breakers in parallel to fix the problem. My living room slide has done this, more often, just recently, so I will also be looking at a new setup.

Jim is dead on. Been covered many times! After I upgraded the circuit breaker on ours it made a gigantic difference! I used two 40 amp breakers hooked parallel.

Mine was still under warranty and I told the dealer of the parallel connection. He called Lippert and they confirmed and sent the dealer another breaker to hook in parallel.
In the meantime, check all the cable connections coming off of the motors to the braker and to the battery to ensure they are tight. Some have also moved the ground cable from it's anchor point to a more secure grounding point and that has helped.
Good luck.

Our big slide does this also but only when pulling the slide in. Just give it a few seconds and it finishes going in. I will check the connections.

Good luck on the fix.
