I know there's quite an age difference in our coaches, but the slide controller in ours is in a passenger-side storage bay amidships. It is fastened to a panel alongside the frame rail. Yours may be in a similar location. It won't be very big if it is like ours; about the size of a small book.
Thanks for the info!! We just got home a couple hours ago. 6,500 miles in 30 days. Whew! Now the ti can unpack it a bit and not feel rushed to get to the next place, I’ll explore it and find this sucker. Appreciate your help!usually the controller is on the ceiling of a bay near or under the slide. I know that the ASME have very few bays that qualify, especially on the slide side. You might find it in the front bay below the driver. I do not remember what all that control panel operates besides the Jacks, but they are labeled. I know that a friend of mine that had an AMSE had to replace that panel up front.
Another quirk with the AMSE is the slide operation requires a good voltage. This is hard to do when the engine cannot be operational. Plugging into shore power, and making sure the chassis battery is above 12.0v, and using the battery interconnect became the standard operation for moving the slides. When shore power was not an option, then he would use the generator.
Here is an image of what it looks like:
or possibly like this:
Yep; the engine sits between the frame rails at about the center point (front-to-back) of the coach. Engine noise was/is quieter than a front-engine coach but not quite as quiet as a rear-engine coach.
I don’t have anything to compare to as this is my first coach but the engine noise is very quiet. We can easily hold a conversation back there at 70mph. The engine is just forward of the rear axle and sits right in the middle of the kitchen. To access it there is a large floor panel in the kitchen (though the slide must be out). We absolutely love ours!
