Trombetta RPs look similar to the LCI branded ones. So it should pull ~2 Amps when energized
Hydraulic slides make a difference, no doubt, as the power distribution is completely different versus an electric slide. I don't see the hydraulic relay on the Monitor Panel diagram in post 12, though, so still don't understand how the fuse could blow if the relay is not on that circuit. The answer, obviously, is that it must have been. When Steve wrote he was bringing in both the bedroom and living room slides at the same time (post 10) that must mean he was activating the Schwintek (bedroom) and hydraulic (living room) at the same time. This would put a high load on the battery (if not connected to shore power), which could have lowered it's voltage thus increasing the current output...which in turn blew the fuse.
Bottom line: his advice to minimize the current draw (do one slide system at a time?) is spot on.

Yeah, that's just my wiring and since I don't have hydraulics, I'd just be guessing if I put in on my diagrams.
