[Dave] We recently purchased our first trailer with a slide. It's a Coachman 29fls. We leave this trailer in storage and have it taken out approx once a month to camp in when we visit the beach. The problem is when are setting up and after electrical hook-up, ...the slide will not operate for about 20-30 minutes. It's like the battery is having to charge or something. After that initial time frame, the slide is functional and works fine. But on first try, it will only move out about 3-4 inches and stop. Any ideas...suggestions...Should I be disconnecting the battery when we leave to try to keep it from draining if that is the problem ? Dave
