Completely stuck pop outs

[Stitchweaver]

We have to move a fifth wheel that my daughter bought a few years ago. We cannot get one pop out to go in. We've tried doing it both electronically and manually and neither way seems to work. We have to get it out of where she had it parked soon so we are desperate. Any ideas?

Keep in mind, almost all slides need 12v to operate. So if you are only on shore power and for whatever reason the 12 volt battery is dead try plugging your rig into the running TV thru your 7 pin. That's where I would start.

I seen this happen when there was a lot of rust on the metal arms. AFter applying lubrication, it finally moved manually.

...........IF , the motor tries to move slideout in , but can't , Lift UP on bottom edge of slideout and push in to assist slideout motor ! This should be tried with (2) healthy , strong adults working together .
...........Most likely , IF slideout has been OUT for several years the supporting arms are curved down due to supporting weight for long period of time . , jf

Does the motor engage when you toggle the switch? Does the manual override turn, or is it stuck?

Thanks DAS26miles. We'll get that and get back to you.

Sorry to hear you are having slide-out problems. You need to post what make and model the Rv is plus what slide manufacturer. Additionally, any procedures that you've done and how. Photos of the slide-out and mechanism helps too.
