I'm a new owner and would hate to get stuck with my slider hanging out. How can I manually retrieve?

Wow! Good question!

I'd like to know, too. The only scenario I can envision would be loss of the slide's motor, since even if you're

boondocking, with a dead trailer battery, the TV can always provide 12 v. Can the slide's drive train be

manually operated, I guess, is the question.

There is supposed to be a place to crank it in manually, but I guess I never looked to see how. Something to take a look at when things thaw out...
