We’re wondering where the motor transmission housing for manual operation of slide out is located. Don’t need now, but in case we run out of juice when we’re boondocking we don’t want to be caught without a slide out that won’t come in. Thanks for your help.

Have checked on line for Lippert Manuals, lot of info. Search for a Lippert Components In-Wall Slide Out System Owners Manual. It's there I made a copy and have it in my binder.

Greetings

The slide out is operated by 2 small motors, one on each side that drive gears at the top and bottom. The motors are under the gasket on each side, reached from the outside. To push the slide in by hand the motors need to be disconnected. Go on line and check out the videos available from the company.

In your scenario, hooking up jumper cables from your tow vehicle to the Pod battery would be a lot easier.
