What is your question? You have added to an old thread and I am not sure what your question is.  The white switch by the bathroom door operates the dinette slide out, as the switch indicates in or out if there is 12v juice available.  You may want to try this link for more details

Hope this helps you

We have a 2015 179.  When you enter the door, there is switch to the right (next to bathroom door).  It's white and says slide in/out.

how to access r-pod slider controller when slider is in and blocking access to ottoman, 2015 179.  Battery charged, on shore power, fuses good, breaker good.  would love to get the slider out to give my poor wife a bit more room. "jumping" truck battery to r-pod battery does not help

I assume this is the manual slide-out control one would use for opening or closing the slideout if the battery control stopped working?



I don't think My 2018 rpod 176 has this gear driven rail.  It has a kind of a "worm" squiggly line on the outside rails that I think are being driven?  I wonder if that's the same as the 179?

About halfway through this video is the info on how to do a manual override.

Here are some great videos that Lippert did with maintenance and operational information for the Schwintek slide system.
