New to me 2013 Voltage Epic 3905

So, while on an online auction a few weeks ago, I accidentally bid on an auction and ended up winning it. Luckily for me I was initially interested in this RV however price was a bit higher than I was hoping for. I do have the truck for Towing (2013 GMC 3500HD LML DRW) so that was a benefit. Picked up a B&W Companion 20k turn-over-ball 5th wheel and replaced the RV socket in the bed wall.

So far Main slide and Galley slide had issues. Bedroom slide worked fine. I was able to recover the Main Slide using the controller relearn procedure today. Galley slide may need motors replaced since only one side of the slide moves. Side by the main entrance will not move out. Replaced battery with a new 100AH Group 29 Everstart Maxx Marine from Walmart and yes, it fit in the battery tray.
Towed it to an RV shop closer to home and it's currently awaiting inspection.

It did come with a wireless backup camera, but I did not see a receiver for it for truck side. Anybody know the backup camera receiver needed for the truck side? Truck has a Kenwood Android Auto Double DIN receiver so I plan on adding the backup-camera to my 2nd camera input.

I suspect this unit has older incandescent lighting which will be upgraded eventually. The slide issue is the priority for the Galley. I know this uses Schwintek motors, however not sure if they are the 300:1 or 500:1. Anybody have the actual part number for the slide motors?

Tires will be on my list to replace in the future as well.

Found a used Voyager WiSight 2.0 WVSXM70 RV Camera System since I did not find the Receiver unit in the RV for the old WiSight system, looks like a backup camera upgrade. I may check out the receiver to see if there is a way to output an RCA video output so I can add to my Kenwood Double DIN.

We owned a 2013 model 3905. It was a great camper. The slides were very finicky. We learned to put out the slides before leveling and once we learned that our problems went away. The main slides would usually work but the bedroom slide absolutely refused to work with the jacks down. It is a big camper and it makes sense that the jacks cause a bind in the slides. If the slides have any resistance at all they will stall in that position. The slides worked well while connected to the truck and with only the front jacks down. During tear down we would retract the levelers then close the slides. Try different configurations and see if it helps. Good luck.

Yup, finikey is correct. Galley slide is stuck on the main entrance side. I do hear the motor, however it does not move out (currently in). Garage side motor works fine. I have two replacement motors, however I cannot get the galley slide to open (opens crooked due to the entrance side motor/shaft). I tried forcing it open using some 4x4s, 2x4 and a bottle jack but nope. I suspect the track will a have to be removed on that side to get it open.


The other issue is I was looking to upgrade the main TV over the entrance and cannot seem to figure out how to remove it.

You lift the main TV up off the bracket. It takes some pressure and is nerve wracking. Use two people.

That is what I read elsewhere, also I read I need to remove the center channel speaker above the tv first. Not sure why this tv is not on an arm like the bedroom...oh right, nobody would ever want to upgrade or replace the TV. Plan on replacing with a 4k UHD Smart TV.

Take the speaker off from above the TV. Then the TV will lift up

Have you tried manually using your rank or drill to open it?
