Greyhawk 29MVP Manual lift for stairs?

[shewren]

A real newbie question. If the stairs & slides won’t retract is there a manual crank somewhere?

Disconnect the linkage found under the steps when extended, push them closed, and use a bungee cord or something similar to keep them closed.

Thank you. Do you if there is a way to bring in the slides manually? TIA

It depends upon which slideout mechanisms you have if you can determine that.

Bedroom slide has to be manually pushed in lifting the motors (one on each side). Pull the rubber aside (from the outside top), loosen the set screw for the motor, and lift up the motor to release it. Never tried this and certainly don't want to attempt it as it looks like a royal pain. The front slide can be pushed in also but first you have to release the motor brake. The storage bin aft of the battery compartment has a cover on the inside top of the bin that has to be removed to access the motor. Remove this cover, release the motor brake, and manually push the slide in. Or if you really want to punish yourself, you can release the brake and get about a quarter turn per swing on the square slide shaft. I think you could get the slide in in about a week.

Thanks, I appreciate the help.
