Hi there,

Went under the fridge again.  This is the only thing that is under there.  

How do you get to the motor retention screw if it's on the outside of the trailer slide out and the slide out is stuck in?

Thank you for your post.  We have looked under the fridge several times and the controller wasn't there.  I believe it's under the ottoman.  We do not have anything under the fridge that looks like...

The controller for our RP-179 is behind the panel under the refrigerator.

Hi there,

The exact same thing happened to our slide out.  We have a 2016 179 HRE and we cannot access the controller because it's under the ottoman.  How did you get the slide out to slide out? 

Do you have pictures or solutions?

Going to try disengage the motors from the inside to push out.

Thank you in advance for your post,

Our was catching also and we now do the same - put the cover on the bed with the coushions.  My husband got out the finishing gun and reinforced all the trim which worked great.

Our catches on the ottoman compartment cover in our 179. We've started removing the cover and throwing it on the bed before we retract the slide.

And yes, I would guess every pod coming out of the factory is at least slightly different from the ones before or after.

Our build date states " 12-14-2016" and it's a blue one.
