They had a push/pull out model long long ago.....

Now that's a twofer. Two slide outs, AND an outdoor kitchen. All this time we thought they were brand new innovations.

... interesting. They had the same pursuit we have now, but not the materials or tchnology.

Lippert's reply was typical customer service. They had a manual slide mechanism years ago for park models, but it's not currently being considered.

Because everybody just wants to "push a button"......

I opened up the link and it looks like a classified government document with a lot of redaction's. LOL, J/K There are a lot of things that I ascribe to being manually operated. Operating a slide is not one. Of course its nice to have the manual feature if the motor quits. I have a manual override on mine. Its neatly hidden on the curb side.

Oh man, you got that right.

Everyone wants to push a button until the button no longer works and then they want to turn a handle. I had an RV back in the early 90's had a manual crank for everything "and" a push button for everything except for the awning which was a long handle operated only (never had an issue with that awning mechanism). ~CA

I prefered the old style awnings - they were easy to clean and to tie down in moderate winds.
