Check Dutchmen's electrical connections
A couple of weeks ago, I experienced my first slide issues - relays click and no movement. Found that almost every single crimp connection was loose. Replaced them all and all was well. Until last weekend. When we arrived at the campground, the Level Up system starting having intermittent issues. Would just stop when raising camper off the truck and would just stop when levelling. Got her level after several attempts and enjoyed the weekend. Went to come home and again jacks would stop working and only heard relays clicking. Got home. Yesterday went out to investigate. Nothing - Level Up panel shut off but could faintly read "Low Voltage". started poking around with a meter and found the lower circuit breaker on the bus bar had been loose for some time and had been arcing until it finally gave up the ghost. Replaced, check all 3/8" nut connections and placed back up nuts on them.
Also, these 50 Amp breakers appear difficult to find round here - not one major RV dealer had them, AutoZone only carries up to a 40 Amp. A local "mom & pop" camper parts place had them in stock. Got 4! Also AutoZone wanted $24.99 to order one - Palco had them in stock for $3.99
