- How to Manually RESET RV Electric Slide
The Two Tired Teachers encounted a problem on the first trip of the 2020 season. For the first trip of the season, we like to stay relatively close to home. That is the trip where we trip to get everything in good shape for longer travel.
One side of the slide, the left side when we were inside, was going out like it was supposed to, but the right side wasn't moving with it. In an effort to save us some money, Sharon decided to take a look under the sofa to see if she could see anything that might help with the problem.
Sharon found a little box that looked as if it were the "brains" of the slide. The problem was that it was almost at the other end of the sofa; she couldn't possibly reach it. She decided she would remove the arm of the sofa and see if she could wiggle under to get to the box.
When she had almost completed that task, she noticed three bolts with wing nuts at the front of the sofa. She undid those, removed the front of the sofa, and could easily get to the box.
The directions on the box said to push the button to reset the slide. The problem was there was no button. The next plan was to see if we could find the part on Amazon and have it sent overnight.
We went nearer the park headquarters so we would have WiFi. Amazon had the part, but instead of being around $50 as Sharon had hoped. It was $299. While she was on Amazon, she looked at the part. It, too, said to push the button to reset the slide, and it didn't appear to have a button.
Following the directions on the box, Sharon took a wooden match stick, pressed the button six times, and held it on the sev enth time. The lights flashed when she did that, and we had hope that she had solved the problem.
When she went to the control panel, the slide opened properly and we had no more problems with it. Sharon probably saved us around $200 by resetting the slide herself.
Thank you very much for the video. I needed it teachers.
So glad we could help.
Thanks!! Worked for us!!
Glad it worked! Much cheaper than taking the RV to a repair shop.
We left the panel off the base of the couch. Lots of storage under the couch. We have baskets that match the couch under there. Just be careful that nothing jams when putting the slide in and out.
Thank you. Our new 2023 Sunseeker classic has two slides. We are traveling home (1000+ miles) from our purchase. The bedroom slide was binding on our 4th stop and your video helped reset it. Now it works normally again.
We are so glad we could help.
I love watching your videos.
Thank you so much.
You Can reset it by inserting a screw driver where it says "push the button", 9 times and hold till it fast flashes. Then use the switch to operate the slide.
Thanks for the tip.
Thank God you got to reset the slide yourself and save money! Good luck ladies and stay safe.
I was so proud of Sharon for figuring it out.
This exactly the same problem we had. Thanks for the help!
We're so glad we could help!
You are both such role models to independence and resourcefulness!! Good on You!!!! How lucky you are to have an Aunt to visit and how nice that you do visit with her.
She is an amazing 95, almost 96 year old. When we had to put our mom in a nursing home, this aunt, my mom's sister, more or less took us as two more grown children. She has 6 of her own.
Thank you ladies. I love your down to earth and common sense delivery of RV facts and tips. I appreciate them greatly and I watch a lot of RV videos, so please take this as a great compliment. You do a GREAT job with your videos. Bill in Florida
Thank you very much, Bill. We do appreciate your comment.
Thanks!
You are most welcome.
hello from the rainy stormy Ozarks melena and Sharon! thanks for sharing your adventures. my slide kicked out too but I manually cranked my slide and it reset itself after cooling off. grace be with you!
The slide on the 5th wheel was a hydrolic slide. When we bought the Micro Minnie, we asked what we would do if the slide malfunctioned. The guy showing us the features of the RV had no idea.
We're supposed to be rainy and maybe stormy for the next few days. Stay safe, Phil.
@@TwoTiredTeachers most slides have a manual crank on opposite side of slide in between the wheels! I mine uses the tire wrench to turn it
We are so glad that you didn't have to spend almost $300.00 to get this repaired!! We have never encountered any issues with our slides yet but we sure do appreciate the information in this video! Thanks for sharing!!
One of the reasons we started the channel was because we knew nothing about RVs when we got our fifth wheel. At that time, we were both still teaching and were relatively certain we could organize and share things we learned along the way.
WOW ! THANK U ! I have saved it in my RV Trouble Shoot Folder ! SO clear and easy to understand yall. Can totally follow along with yalls AWESOME visuals. I KNOW yalls students LOVED yall !!
Thank you for such a wonderful comment. You just made our day!

Thanks!!! Saved me a bunch of time and fixed my slide out on my 2018, 178❤️
So glad we could help.
I sold my house and was ready to leave in my travel trailer for full-time RVing and just needed to pull the slide in and it was really struggling. I have the Extended Service Plan with Good Sam's but they couldn't even get me in to drop it off for another month and I have a $200 deductible right off the top and they always seem to find a way to charge me more. Then Lord knows how long for the repairs and I don't know what I do in the meantime, unsell my house? I thank you for this video I want to go out and try that. 🙏🙏🙏
We hope it works as well for you as it did for us. If it doesn't, search UA-cam for your specific trailer and how to manually reset the slide.
Thanks for the info, if it ever happens to ours I'll know where to start. I applaud your attempt to fix something yourself and avoid the service charge, we do the same. As someone once said "It's not magic ", but I always throw in a few prayers too.
Sharon is truly gifted with repairing little things. I greatly admire that in her.
Thanks for the video, prayer do work!
Amen!
Thank you Ladies! Don't think it will help in our situation, but definitely should help some out there!
I hope so!
So glad everything worked out. Since our trailer probably would have this same setup (slightly newer model) this information could really help out if we ever have similar difficulties with our slide. This was a very helpful video. I hope your trip was fun and without any other glitches. 😃
Thanks, Gail. The trip was wonderful. We got to see my 95 year old aunt. We try to see her monthly, and Ray Roberts is the closest park to Denton, where she lives.
Thanks for the education. Will tuck that away in the brain.
You are very welcome.
Very informative! Thanks for sharing!
You are quite welcome.
Saved me much time and money today ! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Mine was not under the sofa but reset the same way and worked beautifully!!!!! Thank YOU!
Once we reset it, we haven't had another problem. Glad we could help.
where was yours at?
@@123redriver Ours was under the sofa.
Why yes, they do have the Schwinteck Slide System. Ladies, thanks for the slide tip. I’ve been living, 4 to 5 night a week for the last 6 weeks , in my exact same coach (2020 2108 TB). I modified it on day 1, 40 inch Roku TV, big propane tanks, a fantastic fan in the front vent, 2 six volt batteries. On day 5 I had the Gel Coat color sanded and waxed. I have a 28 gallon Rhino portable septic on the rear ladder. I love to make simple meals outside because I loathe cleaning all the crumbs, subsequently detailing the kitchen. Because I depart right after shower, the fantastic fan makes good work of venting the coach before I lock it. I leave no moisture in the shower before I walk away from coach, more emergency departure detailing. My goal is to tread lightly in this coach, always having in Model-Home ready. The salient point is Tread-Lightly if you want to avoid problems and wear. Did I mention I cut the Fantastic Fan right when I use blow dryer? Well, I surely do. I don’t want to visit the fuse box with any frequency. I’m pretending I’m living in a very small foundation based home. So far.......it’s working
Ours is actually a 2018 Micro Minnie 2106 FBS. They were just coming out with the TB when we bought ours, but we wanted to make some other changes -- getting rid of the oven and stove -- putting shelves in the bathroom closet, and putting a crate for Sharon's dog under her bed. It sounds as if you're taking great care of your Micro Minnie. Congratulations!
Most things he are simple but nothing is ever easy.
That's been the case with many of the things we've done.
Fashioned a thing to push the button. No joy. Am cutting an access port in the deck of the slide out. Will cover it with a steel plate and four screws, under the couch. Service man advised
More to come..
@@jimself1954 Please keep us posted.
I fixed it. The old controller had a half teaspoon on steel filings in it. Amazed that it worked as long as it did. Was probably some bone head drilled some holes into the frame and swept them into it. I let them know so they might look out for it in the building process. Working great now. Thank you for you help.
It's a Forest River Salem lite, 31 footer.
So glad it worked! Mine just quit everything. So I finally found the controller but it' a good 4 foot reach. So tomorrow I will drill a match sized hole in the end of a broom handle and very carefully press that button from afar. I will let you know how it went!
Hope it works, and please do let us know how it goes.
I have a Winnebago micro mini 2108tb this is really good information in case I have the same problem thanks for sharing
Thank you so much.
There is a button just inside that littlevwindow you pointed to...
That is the reset button.
Just happened to me in Flagstaff. Was able to reset and bring my slide back in. But does not work after that.
Hmmm. Ours works fine after the reset.
Great job! Always satisfying to accomplish some work on the RV and avoid those huge service expenses. I bet this will help a number of people with slides. Ray Robert’s is nice, but we also like Hickory Creek ACE in the Lake Dallas area north side of the lake.
Liz, we choose Ray Roberts because our 95, soon to be 96, year old aunt lives in Denton. By staying at Ray Roberts we can visit her a couple of times.
Great video,I hope I never encounter this!
I hope so too!
Praise The LORD! HE always makes it right. Blessings!
I think the reset procedure gets all the motors synced so they know that the slide is one position then the other.
Thanks for the tip! I hope I don’t have to experience the reset button but will find out where that box is. Do you hav3 the shwinteck (sp) system?
Take care, Bill in Utah
I think it's a schwintek, but I'm not really sure. All I know is I am extremely glad that the reset button fixed the problem.
Sorry for the dumb question, but what exactly is a reset? Does the slide just adjust itself on its own? 🤷🏻♂️
When your slide has quit working for whatever reason, the reset button is a good place to start.
Just found your channel. I am hoping to go full-time RVing and was afraid to consider anything with a slide. You give me hope.
Vara con Dios
You can do it!
That’s a good one to store in the old brain matter :)
Sharon wished she had that info BEFORE she tried to take off the arm of the sofa, but we were both grateful she was able to fix it.
Hope the trip was uneventful otherwise. I have no idea how anyone gets by without prayer.
We pray our way through lots of things, big and small.
Yes, the trip was good. We camped at Ray Roberts because it is closest to where our mom's sister lives. She 95 and God willing will be 96 on April 1. We try to go see her around once a month.
