Just brought this new camper home the other day, and have been having fun looking it all over. I've read all the manuals, but I don't have a specific manual for the slide. My question is, if the slide were to fail to retract using the electric mechanism, is there a manual ( hand crank ? ) way to get the slide back in ? Thanks.
 
Congrats on the new funfinder

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We have the same model. Bought in in Feb.
Safe travels!
 
No crank

I have the 2009 x-189fds I found there is a shaft that drives both slides. The shaft runs perpendicular to the travel of the slider The end of the shaft can be accessed by cutting a whole through the slide floor in the rear seat compartment between the draw slide and front of the seat box. You can get a ratchet through the hole and access the end of the shaft. (I thing ¾ inch ratchet) Not easy but better than nothing.
