Manual slide opene/closerr 2010 Thor Four Winds

Can't locate the manual slide opener/closer on a new-to-us 2010 Thor Four Winds Freedom Elite 31R.
Thor help line said there was one, but I couldn't find it.

Any help would be appreciated.

  • It was in the top of the storage compartment under the slide. It is housed in a black plastic rectangular box secured to the overhead. I didn't remove it and hope I never have to.

  • Ours is a 2013 Thor Chateau 31L. I believe the motor are located underneath the covering on the bottom of the slide. You would have to remove/cut to gain access.
  • I have a 2005 Four Winds 31P with a driver side slide. Under the slide in one of the storage bay doors. There is a black poly cover on the top of the storage bay. You must remove it and you will see the rear of the slide motor with a 9/16"(I think) nut protruding from the rear of the motor. You will need an electric drill and a socket the size of the nut. Use the drill to move the slide to where you want it. If the slid pins are broken, this will not help. You are in a real bind then.
