I posted earlier about my 2007 Cedar Creek Silverback that was behaving perfectly fine until a few days ago.

I thought maybe I had drained the battery, but I bought a generator, hooked it up, let it run, and the battery got to 13V.

When I pressed the slide button to try to retract them it jumped down to 12.7, but I think that's within normal range.

Even with the generator running these things aren't moving.

I still hear a motor but no movement.

Everything else in the RV works.

I even tried to retract the slides with the manual crank and absolutely nothing moved. I gave it a good 40 turns both counter and clockwise to make sure.

I'm looking at the hydraulic fluid reservoir and I don't see a max fill line and I don't know if this is low for slides that are already extended and can't find the answer in the manual.

Any advice?

These are hydraulic slides for reference.

Thanks in advance.

Hey again friends. Brand new RV owner. Last night I began taking the bunks out of the bunkhouse to convert it into an office. I had that room light on for a few hours and my wife had the kitchen light on. I read that the internal battery is supposed to be enough to power the slides and the lights, maybe I read wrong.

I've had zero issues up until this point and now my slides won't move back in.

I push "out" and it never stops making a noise, but nothing is moving whatsoever. I push in and I sometimes get a noise but again, nothing moves.

To add to it, as a test, I turn the lights on and when I push the slide button with the lights on, they flicker.

Is this indicative of a bad battery? There's no corrosion on it and wires look fine.

Did I screw something up worse?

I have a generator getting here Monday.

Video attached to hear the noise and see the lights. No grinding whatsoever, just sounds weak.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey friends. I'm the proud new owner of a 2007 Cedar Creek Silverback. I don't own a truck to pull it yet but my cousin was getting rid of this and I had to jump on the price. Had to hire a company to move it for me and they "leveled" it, but it's not level. The front end is still too high.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the angle it's reading on my leveling app. Just enough to make me crazy and if I lose the rest of my marbles they're all going to roll into the bunkhouse. I've lowered the front legs until I heard a clicking sound and stopped, I'm assuming my next option is to take the pins out and move them down, but I'm not sure how I could do that without a truck to support it. Is there any way? The legs don't move independently with the button, there's only up and down.

Is this going to cause damage to my rig sitting at this angle?

Thanks in advance for helping out the newbie!

The adding frames and miniatures obsession began with my Hobbit diptych piece and this is my second creation.

I found this frame at the antique mall and completely redid it from bronze to this iridescent purple and the size was just perfect for Alice to fall down the rabbit hole.

Thanks for looking 🐇 🖤
