2011 177

I am wondering what tools I should have on hand to manually extend/retract the slide in event of an electrical or motor problem.  I've watched numerous YouTube videos but they are all pretty generic - wondering what works best on the RPod 177 - anything specific?

What mechanism does yours have? Is it the Schwintek system that has two tracks on each side wall or the system that has the mechanism below the slide-out? It makes a difference.

A great question...because those are the things I would not even KNOW to put in there....didn't realize there was different one.  Pretty sure the mechanism is below...there is a track under there.

Thank you. That helps although I don't have the answer since we have the in-wall system. If I recall reading correctly, there should be a crank handle that fits a socket somewhere under there to operate it manually if needed. However, someone who has one of that design would have to confirm.
