I have a 2015 mod 179. Is there a way to manually work the slideout? No problems yet, just planning ahead in case of problems.

Here is a link to a user guide. It includes a couple of pages describing how to manually work the slide out. https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/Manuals%20-%20Slideouts%20-%20Above%20Floor%20System.pdf?token=AWw8Bc_FuFNtwdt2SFAPUU9Q5sAMHvq8Q_Jq-gGBcn6amI0Q2KpzgkNUXZGPAKPXVtG2QkA55gfpcjHwyYzdTPkUEN_2BZcX2E36BNrfXQWORC4ML8P9rnNvsmZqYl_3X97AR8ogDTHZR9zjKHiU61RF ------------- Rob & Becky 2014 Ford Explorer 3.5 SOHC V6 2015 R-179 Pod aka Piddle Pod "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain!!" |

Don't forget that you can also operate your slide by connecting your electrical cable to the back of your TV and starting your TV. (And if your R-Pod battery gets too low you could also re-charge it quickly by using jumper cables to your TV and letting it run for an hour or so.) That avoids having to manually move the slide. ------------- David & Liz 2014 R-Pod 178 2019 Chevy Traverse And Lily (our 8 yr old Golden)
