In order to diagnose the issue with the awnings the The cabinet where the unity one control is located access panel had to be removed the cabinet door had to be removed because it was against the step mounting. Unity one control panel had to be unscrewed from the wall and from the floor pulled outside of the cabinet in order to begin testing. The first test was done with the separate power source Which both awning one in awning to extended and retracted correctly. Power test at the unity one box on the post there was no power on the retract side when the button was pressed. There was power on the extend. The wires for the awning one and awning too were both attached to the post for slide one the awnings extended and retracted correctly. Tested Tested the voltage of the battery was getting correct voltage tested the voltage at the unity one box it was slightly lower. Call Lippert technical support spoke to Tim case number 596-1274 *43519* went through the testing procedures with Lippert. Lippert informed that it was a grounding issue a ground was added between the unity one box in the ground bar inside the cabinet. Test the voltage again voltage was the same as the battery as it was at the unity one box the awnings still would not extend and retract correctly they would go out but they would not retract. Contacted Lippert again went through their testing procedures checking voltage as the buttons were pressed for extend and retract all voltage was found to be correct. Lippert determined that the unity one box was bad and needs to be replaced. The customers intend on using the unit therefore I had to put everything back as it was and to reconnect the wires for the awning to the unity one box and two reattach one of the unity one boxes back to the wall reattach the unit and one box back inside the storage area replace the cabinet door and put the cover back. Received new unity board Removed cabinet door and access panel Pulled the board out Switch out the unity board one wire at a time Once began testing found each switch worked Awning 2 went in and out several times correctly Awning 1 would not move Removed cap off the motor side of the awning used a drill and ran the awning out about 18 inches Tried the switch again and awning went all the way out and back in Did this 5 times awning worked correctly each time Replaced the cap closed the awning All slide room worked lights worked System now works correctly Work completed Page 1 of 5 © 2026 Integrated Dealer Systems *71837* Put the board back in the compartment where it is located Promised Date: 30 JUN 25 W/O: 71837 Reinstalled access panel and cabinet door

During the diagnosis a check of the inverter itself both in the front having to remove a cover exposing wires running tests in the front at the control panel checking all other inverter plugged within the unit with your working GFI circuit is working the two plugs in the kitchen that are pop-up plugs on the passenger side are not working on inverter power do work on 120 power. Went through the unit in the inside trying to trace the wires to a junction box to see if wires may be disconnected Unable to locate any junction box replace the cover of the inverter put the trim kit plates back on the power cords for the actual slide where the inverter plugs are located. Place to call the forest river to get technical support to see where the junction box could be located no return call this job will be placed on hold. Called and emailed foster river again asking for information about the inverter circuit and where to locate the junction box with out having to drop the whole under belly. No emailed response or call back. The is not an issue with the inverter itself all other inverter plugs work except the two pop up plugs in the kitchen on the passenger side . Phone call and email to Columbus service 10/08/25 requesting assistance SHEA, TERI LYNN Customer #: 43519 Phone call to Columbus 1/19/26 with an email waiting to hear back from Mr. Brown. Phone call 1/20/26 from Matt explained the situation with having no power to the two plugs in the kitchen slide for the stove. Matt gave directions to check a box near the inverter and the connection in access cover inside on the right of the slide. Checked the connections near the inverter and tested for power . There was power out of the inverter Removed the access cover inside and tested for power no power detected. Opened the two front compartments removed 14 screws on the two access panels and traced the wiring to the drivers side and into the under belly near the fresh tank. Still no inverter power. Called Matt at Columbus and explained each step taken and described the wire colors and what was not working Matts told me at that time the pop up plugs on the kitchen slide are not inverter plugs they are GFI only and *43519* only work on shore power. I told him they are labeled inverter plugs and he told me they were miss labeled at the factory and to remove the stickers The plugs work on shore as they are suppose to. The labels were removed the access cover was put back in place inside Both access panels in the front compartment were out back in place and all personal belongings were put back in the compartment

@Brian P -This is lengthy, apologies. I have attached the feedback for each line in DB if that would be easier to follow. Job 1 - Jessica Ashby responded to your question about the junction box - the only one is on the hitch. The vendor provided some feedback as well "per vendor Hello Jessica, If the batteries are tested and good and connected to the battery terminals then you should read 12V when you measure at the battery terminals at the back of the controller when you measure, not 4.87V So please get the dealer to send us pictures of the DC Voltage measurement at the Battery + and - and Solar + and - terminals at the back of the controller, when the controller is connected. ---the pictures of the DC voltage that the vendor requested are what I need here Job 2 - The notes below are from the vendor - did you perform these steps? I can see that some of it looks like it may have been done - but was the wiring checked, was a hard reset done, was the multimeter used to measure output at each panel? You responded that all the testing was done per your story, but there seems to be some steps missing from your story. Ideally, the tech would have done each step the vendor recommended and put a result for each step, I am not seeing that. This was the response from December 1st from the vendor: PER VENDOR Thnak you for your inquiry. This is Go Power tech support. Can we get a description of the issue. Is the controller not putting current to the batteries? Is the 4.89 volatge meassured with a battery connected as teh controller needs battery power to run. First step is to determine if we are getting proper voltage and current from the solar panel or panels on the roof to the back of the controller. If we are not getting proper voltage and current to the controller the controller will not put proper current to the battery. This could be a wiring issue or a problem with the output of a solar panel or the single panel on the roof. If we are getting proper voltage and current to the controller and the controller is not putting it to the battery it may be the controller. **Controller does not charge batteries/Controller shows "0.0" amps charging** Solution Troubleshooting steps: 1. Ensure batteries are not full, charging amps will drop to near zero if batteries are full (meter the batteries, don't trust the display from the controller). In other words, if the battery is full the controller will not put current to them. 2. Ensure solar panel is clean and is in direct sunlight. An obstructed/dirty panel will yield poor results 3. Check input voltage at controller from solar panel (~18V-20V based on solar panel rating and sun conditions) 4. Use a multimeter to measure output current of each panel. (Note meter must be fused to 10 amps) It is possible the panel outputs current but not voltage. 5. Check wiring from solar panel to controller and controller to the batteries 6. Check for any fuse in-line in the system 7. Perform a hard reset on device. Disconnect all four wires from back of device and let sit for 15 minutes - reconnect all four wires and recheck The note below came back on December 11th after you responded that all testing was done per the story, batteries were charged and tested and were good. per vendor Voltage at the Unity Board: 13.84 & Voltage at Unity where the Awnings are wired to: 13.22 (when extending) 13.10 (when retracting) Job 0 - This is approved for .5 only. Looking at the comments back and forth on this, Jessica Ashby has a note regarding labor times stating that "Per my manager regarding the times submitted. He stated to give flat rate times and to advise you that That is illegal to do and violates the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. If you can't do it at flat rate times he has advised you not to work on the unit." The authorization came back on December 1st with the following notation: per vendor Good Afternoon!

We will have to wait to do this testing with tech service. The customer's picked up the unit for the holidays, it should be back the first week in January and I will have Chris and Tim call tech service and reference this claim.

Brian, has this unit come back into the shop yet? If so, has any progress been made?

dealer_or_external • Jan 15, 2026, 12:32 PM

Yes, it is here, will be dispatched

dealer_or_external • Jan 20, 2026, 5:04 PM

@Stephanie K @Jeff M We just found out that we have been going back & forth, jumping through hoops on job 1 - the outlets were mislabeled according to Matt @ Columbus. The tech has 7.41 in this so far. We need to fight to get his time covered. Typically we would charge the customer the difference since they didn't buy from us, but this is a mfg error.

processor • Jan 21, 2026, 9:58 AM

I will update the labor when I have the pictures that are being requested. Do you want me to bump it to 9? This will cover the time already involved, and then any additional time it may take to do the repair? It appears as though the voltage readings are not correct and the vendor wants pics of the DC voltage at the battery +/- and the solar +/- terminals at the back of the controller when it is connected. Brian said this unit is back in the shop, so he was going to dispatch it to get the information. There is also some information needed for line 2 to get this fully approved.

dealer_or_external • Jan 21, 2026, 11:15 AM

@Brian P I'll let you take the lead on this. I just wanted to make sure we tried to cover the time.
