Got no toys to play with today. So checking out the recent purchase - a Fleetwood Flair (2003). I did find the "large bolt head" you can turn to retract/deploy the bedroom slide. It is a 5/8 wrench size. It is not actually a bolt but the end of the gearbox output shaft. You'll want to bring a lunch if you want to use this method to retract the slide. I could find NO lever to disengage the gearbox so cranking the 5/8 bolthead is a LOT of work. If I'm ever faced with needing to do this I think I'll remove the gearbox/motor to lessen the effort. The gearbox is mounted with 4 small phillips screws.
