Here is what happened when the slide motor quit on our 2002 Itasca Horizon, in Teslin, Yukon:
We were unable to get the slides in at all using the manual instructions. Fortunately, when the tech suggested (by phone) that someone tap the motor with hammer while someone else pressed the switch, in came the slides! At least we were able to drive to the shop in Whitehorse. The story gets better (and longer) from there!

(Scroll down sub heading "Well so much for plans"--though of course you are welcome to read the entire post or even the whole blog!)
then:
We made it to Whitehorse.
The parts are in!
