From the time of purchase we have had an issue with the fuse blowing when we retracted the kitchen slide. We have had our Brinkley 5th wheel in for service at approved Brinkley locations for this issue multiple times with the issue reproduced. Service has occurred for this issue from March 2024 until April 2026. In April 2024 when we picked up the trailer we were told by Mike Thompson dealership where we purchased the RV, that this is common and we should invest in fuses. Despite multiple trips for service the issue has yet to be resolved. We have ultimately been told to use resettable fuses, however we are extremely worried about a potential fire hazard. There is an overcurrent that occurs with the slide retraction. Although a resettable fuse may resolve the symptom it does not treat the cause. When a 30A fuse has an audible pop, you know that there are multiples of 30A hitting the fuse resulting in 100+amps of current coursing through the wiring, stressing the motor and the printed circuit board until that fuse opens. Resettable fuses are good for approximately 100 cycles before they are no longer viable. If these fuses short, it is unknown how long the PCB trace will be able to handle the current prior to it burning and becoming a fuse itself. This would ruin the main fuse panel board and possibly the motor while potentially causing a fire.
