slideout problems

[donan]

i have a Keystone Cougar 5th wheel and the big slide out motor really struggles to move it in and out, i am thinking that the battery doesn't have enough cranking amps to to run the slide out motor at it's capacity, the battery was replaced by a dealer and it is a small deep cycle battery

It's generally recommended to move slides on shore power (connected to campground) and not use battery.

it doesn't make any difference if i am hooked up to shore power or just use the battery, i have used the dry slide out lube and nothing seems to change the motor almost stops at times when moving the slide out out i think the motor just isn't big enough for this big slide out

Might check for undersized/bad connection wiring. See if any wiring gets very hot.

Check the voltage AT THE MOTOR while under load. If the electric motor is getting less than 12 Volts while under load, there is power supply problem, and if you keep pushing them it will burn the motor.
