The Lippert 386430 is a sealed, waterproof relay pack built specifically to control hydraulic slide-out systems on motorhomes and large RVs. With a 70-amp contact rating, a fused positive control lead, and three dedicated motor connection studs, this relay pack delivers reliable, protected switching for your hydraulic slide motor -- even in the wet, road-grime environments typical under a coach chassis.
Hydraulic slide-out systems put real demands on their electrical components. Motor inrush current, vibration, moisture, and road debris all work against ordinary relays. Lippert designed the 386430 with a fully waterproof housing to survive exactly those conditions, protecting the internal contacts from corrosion and contamination that can cause sluggish or failed slide operation.
The built-in fuse on the positive control lead adds a layer of protection for your slide control harness, preventing collateral damage if a wiring fault occurs. The three motor studs provide solid, low-resistance connections to your hydraulic pump motor -- no crimped terminals that loosen over time.
Handles the high current draw of hydraulic slide-out pump motors without overheating or contact degradation over time.
Sealed enclosure resists moisture, road spray, and chassis dirt -- critical for components mounted beneath the coach floor.
Integrated fuse on the control lead protects your slide control wiring from damage in the event of a short circuit.
Dedicated stud terminals deliver secure, low-resistance connections to the hydraulic pump motor for consistent performance.
Relay packs in hydraulic slide systems fail most often due to water intrusion into non-sealed relays, corrosion on motor stud connections, or a blown control-lead fuse caused by a wiring short elsewhere in the circuit. Before replacing the 386430, verify that the fuse on the positive control lead has not blown and that all three motor stud connections are clean and tight. A failed fuse is sometimes the entire problem.
The 386430 mounts in place of the existing relay pack using the same footprint. Typical installation involves:
