Yes, that's the problem. Still don't know how hard it will be to access the motors once the trim was removed.

Looks good...OK so you are saying that you can't get to the motors when the slide is fully open because the upholstery trim with the big buttons is in the way?

Wow, those are big picture files. I thought I made them small enough.

I located the slide control panel. It's not under the fridge. Its inside an arm to the dinett seating area. It looks just like the U tube videos with the same instructions printed on front. As far as unsnapping the panel that covers the slide motors, I did some pulling where it looked like snaps could be. Nothing gave free. I'm afraid to pull too hard for fear of breaking something. I have some pictures I would like to attach, but I can't figure out how to do that.

If you unscrew the wooden panel under the fridge, you will see a little control box with instructions on how to do the override. Be careful though - there is some pretty untidy wiring under there. I tried to bungee them out of the way, but decided it wasn't a good idea.
I was a little concerned about something falling off the counter during a tow, falling into that space, and then crunching that panel, so I put hinges on it. I really don't want to get routine access - just a way to protect that panel.

I was told the same info that LePodders have passed along. I was also told that once you have manually pushed it in you must use a board or something to brace it closed so it doesnt slide back open when you move the camper.

Got one showing it being done on a POD?
