Slideout

Hi
Since I am unable to retract my slideout with motor or manually with a wrench would it be possible with some help to physically push slideout all the way in????
Help
Thanks
  • Problem solved
    Replaced slideout motor with attached gearbox,gearbox had failed
    Slideout now works better then ever
    Thanks for all your suggestions
  • Motorhome is a Fleetwood 2006 Jamboree 23 e
    Slideout system is a 2 rail Powergear Electric System
    Motor has brake to release & also to lock slideout from moving once retracted
    Just don't know if anyone has had experience in physically pushing a slideout in
    Slideout has a couch & wardrobe
    Thanks

    Every slide is different. But if you and others push on slide to retract it. Make sure that everyone pushes where there is inside support. This should avoid damaging siding.


    .... and then you need to secure it to keep it from coming back out as you drive down the highway..,..

  • depends on which one you have,on mine if you have your motors disconnected, yes, then you need to use something to block it from sliding back out
