Not quite true.

All RV's will plug into standard 120V 15A plugs (a regular house plug) however the AC unit will not operate. Everything else should be fine

Good Luck.

You could try tying a string to the end of the wire and gentle pull the other end and if lucky it will pull smoothly and easily.

Ours did the same thing. Repair cost was over $2500. The company had to fully remove the slide to install new worm tracks and gears. I am confident we did not get ripped off.
