DC Power

2006 Montana - I have no DC power to the kitchen slide (fridge, range hood, range hood light & slideout ceiling light). Checked all fuses, all OK.

I guess check the obvious, the circuit breaker in the elec panel marked conv for converter. Then make sure the bat cutoff switch in convenience panels is not off. Do you have green lights in the fuse panel?

After checking the obvious as stated above I would look at the electrical box on the frame (outside) towards the rear of the slide under it. That is a splice area where they connect the wires from the coach to the slide.
Good luck and let us know what you find.

We had a similar problem and it was due to the ground fault outlet tripping off. We continued resetting until I had to replace it. Now everything is OK.

Didn't know that the GFI was connected to the DC power. Learn something new everyday.

It's not connected to the DC side, so I'm not sure what was going on, unless the GFI was on the converter circuit.

Thanks for your input. Found problem ahead of the slide under the skirting, badly corroded connections, replaced & covered with shrink wrap. For those with quad slides, checking these connections (with no protection) would be a good idea.
