Slide Room Stuck

Tried to get underway for a long trip and could not get my slide room in, after a few hours it finally moved in to lock.
I have a 2004 tagalong Trail Lite by R-Vision, 30 feet with 1 slide. On my other RV's there was always an emergency crank in gear with a special wrench similar to the stabilizer crank down wrench. I have some special wrenches with this model; however, I do not see an access point. The 6 way power switch is working and there is power to the motor and the motor worked to bring it in but I do not want to attempt fate until I get to my destination.
Finally if the motor is the culprit I don't a reasonable access point. I can only access the 2 bottom screws that mount the motor to the gears. This slide operates on a single screw. Did not like the hydraulic slides but at leas you could relieve pressure and push it in, my favorite was an air slide. This has me confused. I am a Retired US Navy Engineering Officer, Graduated RV Repair School in the mid 90's and have full timed for 30 of the last 33 years. There is a slight box like in the outside wall of the dinette and it appears that it is right over the motor but it doesn't budge and I am reluctant to tear it out. Any help appreciated.

Sincerely,

Big Al

Our powergear slides have a motor that can be disengaged so the slide can be manually pushed in. Winnebago has videos showing how to access them by pulling the seals back. I haven't had to do it yet, try looking around the internet for you tube videos of how to do it. Or maybe call a mobile tech to come out and save you the stress.
