Good Question... So I went out and looked at the wires running to the motor of our dining/couch slide out on our Seneca. They look to be #10 and I confirmed that on the wiring diagram from jayco. So a #10 conductor is nominally rated for 30A.
While I have not done this ourselves, I think that you will be within limits to bring the slides in/out as long as one battery is connected to your motor home and you have the power converter plugged in so that it is charging the battery (offsetting the missing batteries under a larger load)
As I look at it, under the worst conditions possible if you were to run the slide in/out for an hour, that would still be less than 30A/hr of drain from the one batteries capacity (but would be close/or result in one deep cycle for that single battery) **I strongly discourage anyone to try this though, the slide motors are not rated at 100% duty cycles, they would overheat before the battery discharged if run for an hour straight.
