That or I'd be paying a pretty penny to get a tech into the hills to repair it. I'm planning on calling ORV to confirm next week.

See the video on how to manually retract the slide.

Pro...Looks like you can access the kitchen and bedroom when slide is in, great for over night wallmart parking.

nice photos. thanks. Myself, I would not pull over 6k# with a 1/2T truck. Sure, on paper the new trucks are rated for more. But my real-life experience was "the tail wagging the dog": ie the trailer affects the truck way too much. I find a 3/4 to be much more stable, and a diesel 3/4 has the engine brake which is extremely useful in mountain terrain.
