Slide out hell!

Messed up on this one!  I’ll make it short and skip the backstory. The slide out it stuck in the out position, I tried disconnecting the motors to manually push it in but can’t seem to manage it. I’m trying to avoid totally tearing into things. 

Coachmen Apex, can’t really get a good look or access to the motors. Should I bite the bullet and tear off the exterior flashing?

  • You can use the manual override on shwintech or undo one screw on each motor, pop them up and push in the slide.

  • Many (most) slides allow you to crank them in by turning the square bar under the slide.
