Remote Control Slides

[mfrgs12]

Has anyone had their slides move without touching a remote or a switch.
I had the DS slide move in at @ 0600 Saturday morning. What a wake up. The dogs were not happy.
Any help would be appreciated.

I can say I have never had that problem. How much did it move? A few inches or all the way in by itself?

We have the remote control but have not seen that issue. But it is, what I would call, quirky. I know the remote is "paired" with the receiver (ours is behind the rear wall in the basement, curb side) but I wonder if someone in the CG was using their remote to retract the slides in prep for leaving and your receiver "listened" to their remote. Shouldn't be possible, but...

RedHorse1, quirky is a good definition. We quit using our remote. the large slide would start and stop no matter how carefully we would try to aim the remote. I don't need something to jam up when I'm dry camping somewhere.

It moved all the way out. Last fall it was the rear stablizors. This has me worried. If the dogs had been kennelled it might have hurt them.

Ever time I see the remote ... I get lost in what the abriviations are for... Can someone help me... little slow I recon. I have to admit I like the look of the Montana remote my friend has VS the Jayco.

I would ask the dealer to look at your remote and receiver, also might not hurt to know where you could disable it AKA fuse or the controller box.

ODS = opposite door slide
DS = Door Slide

door meaning entry door.

You need to determine the number associated to each from there. Which I am still guessing most of the time when I use it.

I just noticed that our remote doesn't even work, our 2014 eagle sits on our lot, and never moves, they want the camper to pair it, I guess the remote is a loss, as im not towing it anywhere.

Our remote has an extra button for a 4th slide that we don't have. As I said above, our receiver is on the door-side of the basement behind the rear wall. We have a small hatch allowing access. It has replaceable relays and I'm thinking that I could figure out how to hotwire around it should it fail, kind of like the hotwire instructions for the power awning.

faster, I believe there are pairing instructions on the backside of the remote and the dealer told me that is was a 30 sec effort tho I've not had to do it.

The batteries that come in the remote from Jayco are junk. The first thing to do is toss the battery and buy a good alkaline battery.

The battery number is 24C or C24, depending on the manufacturer.

Mine stopped working and I had to pair it to the receiver. Extremely easy to do once you fid the panel. The dealer made sure he showed me where the panel was and how to pair it. There is a yellow light on the lower left corner on mine. Push the button (it was either the light or a button adjacent to the light) until it flashes, press to on/off button on the remote, then press the button on the panel again. Took longer to remove the screws for the panel than the process to pair. Apparently mine lost the pairing because the trailer battery went dead while being worked on by the dealer.(first trip minor issues)

Also changed the battery in the remote just in case it was the problem.

Anyone have a picture of the remote receiver? So far my remote is working fine. Does stop raising/lowering stabilizers occasionally but I never found anything on receiver or location of said device. What should I be looking for in my 2014 Jayco Eagle 33.5RETS and where should I be looking???

[TNCraig]

Do not have a picture but the receiver is a circuit board that was located behind an access panel on the rear wall of the storage area. I looked at some pictures on the web of your type of unit and I suspect it is located in the same place. The panel is on the door side rear wall of your storage area

I'm old school. If I bought a rig with remote slide switches the first thing I would do is disable them and throw the remote away. I want to be looking at the inside of the slide when it comes in and have my finger on a button.

Worked well for us for 10 years.

[TNCraig]

I agree, when I am brining the slides in I always use the switch, however, it is nice to extend the slides from outside when you have trees and other obstructions around to make sure you do not hit them.

[norty1]

When going out, I prefer to be inside in case something binds.
Just me.

I had a problem with my bedroom slide on a 2012 Pinnacle fully extending all by itself. There occurred many times throughout the winter the first year I had the unit. I too have the remote control, and thought this was the problem. Turned out the circuit board was bad, had that replaced under warranty, and never had a problem since. A note first Jayco decided to change the slide motors thinking the motor wires were shorting out, but the slide came out again and again by itself, that is when they decided to change the circuit board.

Jayco is replacing my remote control board. I really appreciate the Service and responsiveness of the Dealer (Steves RV in Lacombe La) and the Company Rep. I continue to believe this is the best company in the business.

I have two remote controllers and both have an on/off switch on the side of the box. If the slides and/or power awning started to move on their own I would try turning off the controller and see what happened next. If it was an issue from a nearly camper using his remove it wouldn't cause me any problems.

Does jayco have an app for the remote control?
