Greetings RV community. We are new to this forum. We have a 2006 Fleetwood Jamboree. Class C with a single slide. I cannot find out how to access the slide motor. We want to be able to manually operate the slide in an emergency. Thanks in advance for any advise.
Thank You!

If slide working and closed, open 1/2 way and see if you can find motors, get brand/ model and search online/ download pdf OWNER/SERVICE MANUALS/ PARTS LIST? IF MOTOR/GEAR drive, some release the brake when you Unplug motor (access from below?)

Emergency Procedure MAY ONLY relate to retracting. (Some) might use a cable and cordless drill? Some, may need to remove motor, or remove a SHEAR PIN.

YES, BEST/ SMARTEST= LEARN IN THE DRIVEWAY and practice, so that you KNOW/have whatever tools needed? Good Luck.

Thank You for the response!
That’s what I am trying to do. We have planned a 6 week trip starting in June and going through the MH now. I can not find access to the motor and drive system. I want to make sure I can retract the slide in case of motor failure.
