Does anyone know if the 2013 / 177 model has an emergency manual crank for the slideout? No issues at the moment, but want to be prepared just in case :)

Thanks!

yes it does. at the base of the kitchen cabinets, there are two removable panels. The one under the drawers needs to be removed, behind it you will see a 3/4 inch "nut".. that is the manual crank point.

I have a 2018 RPod 180, I looked behind the panel below the drawers and there isn't a crank nut, just plumbing, wiring, and the controller for the slide. Is there an emergency fix in the case that our slide ever fails to operate?

There's no crank on the newer models. You have to disconnect the motors. They are behind the seals.
