No power is not a common problem. If the batteries are dead, connecting the R-Pod to the tow vehicle will supply power. If tow vehicle is not available, connecting to shore power will allow the converter to supply power. If all that fails which is unlikely, then you still might be able to use a generator's 12V power connection to supply 12V power. In any case, lack of power is not something you should lose sleep over.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2018 14:04:41 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11878&PID=112240#112240 Manual operation slide out 189 : Thank you...

Greetings
The company that makes the slideout mechanism  has a series of videos on both manually operating and synching the slide out.  It will tell you everything about it that the dealer didn't

The slide-outs can be manually retracted if needed. There are YouTube videos showing how. In essence, one has to go into the upper slide mechanism, loosen the motor and move it up to disengage it, repeat for the other side. When both are disconnected, push the slide-out in and then use wood to brace it. Then drive it to your dealer's repair shop or other authorized repair center to get it fixed as you likely won't be able to get the motors back in place yourself.

We have had our RP179 since December, 2015. We have covered probably over 25,000 miles with it and the slide-out has not had a single problem. It is nice to know what needs to be done if it does fail, but if it is working, don't worry abut it.

Our dealer claimed it was possible to push the slide-out in if the power was turned off. I kind of doubt that, but I'm willing to be convinced.]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2018 16:43:11 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11878&PID=112212#112212 Manual operation slide out 189 : Getting to know our new 189 but... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11878&PID=112211#112211 Author: 3sunsets

Getting to know our new 189 but so far have found no info on manually sliding our slide in (or out) just in case we have no power.   If I know, I’ll probably never need to use it, but if I don’t, it’s bound to happen...thanks for any help

The links I’ve found that mention this issue are inactive and from 14 years ago
