"larger rooms may require several people to move the slideout", that would be entertaining to watch. Seven Tongans would tip the van over

Interesting event when you free-camp In the middle of nowhere...I suppose you push it in with your bullbar with a few pillows between. Jayco structural integrity is definitely going to cope with that.

@Bellbirdweb Have you worked out which wires you have to put a switch on to allow the slide to go out so the kids can have ablutions without disconnecting the entire 7/12 pin from the car?

@Dean Anderson why do you need to disconnect the plug from the car ?

I just press the button

There's a safety built in so the slideout cant open while driving along (plugged in to the tow vehicle).

Not on mine, it works all the time

Mine doesn't work with the car plugged in either.

I have the new power supply (J35) and it has a input from the power hookup off the car - when plugged in it disables the slide out.

I kinda like it as a safety feature so I haven't unplugged it. But on my car hookup I've got constant power from the battery so am thinking of changing this to switched power instead via a relay so that when the engine isn't running the slide out will operate.

So does ours. We pull up on the side of the road for lunch, hop inside and slide it out so we can access the fridge easily

Not sure that it's really necessary to have it disabled like that.

If I had it I would certainly have disabled it by now, as we frequently jump in the back at stops on the side of the rd and toilet stops.
