No power on slides / leveling

2019 Montana 3701LK, after over night, ready to pull slides in, first bedroom ( which is electric) - didn’t move, then tried main slides ( hydraulic) - didn’t move. Still hooked up to 50 amp and had 110 volt and 12 volt working. Went out to leveling control pad and wouldn’t power up. Checked all breakers and fuses, including front compartment, all ok. When I plugged into truck it all powered up!? Is this a battery issue or ?

Have you checked the breaker for the slides in the battery basement? Most people, including me have had to go to a bigger 50 amp fuse. ALso, double check the hydro fluid level

Classic symptoms of a 50A self resetting circuit breaker gone bad.

Take a multimeter. On shore power, ( in your case, truck 7 way cable) check each post of your 50A self resetting circuit breakers near your batteries. They should all read the same (about 12.4vdc).
Now remove shore power. Check them again.
Which ever one is NOT showing 12vdc on the post, it is bad. Replace it.

As mentioned above now is a good time to install an 80A self resetting circuit breaker and put the hydraulic system on its own circuit breaker per Lippert bulletin. You will find it in the files section of this website.
