If you remove the panel on the inside of the pod at the bottom of the slide I am told there is a nut you can put the wrench for the stabilizer jacks on to run the slide in or out without poer. I have never tried it.

Yes. Just as Keith-n-Dar said. Right hand bottom panel. The nut is the same size as your stabilizer jack handle...
Never done it on a/the Pod.. but HAVE cranked a slide in once. A skill I don't intend to perfect. the smart thing to do if you lose power is hook up your tow vehicle.. |

I would suggest an 18 volt drill or impact wrench with a 3/4 inch socket on it to run the slide in if it stops working for any reason. I use one to run my stabilizer jacks up and down. Yes I am lazy and getting old.

One note: Hooking up to the TV will only help if you have the charging system from the TV activated and/or available

jumper cables man, jumper cables. No truck should be without a set. You can move way more power through them in a short time than through the "charging cable" of the TV.  |

jumper cables, a pair of pliers, quality 12 volt air pump, and a tire plug repair kit.
