How to manually retract a slideout

[201126rkx]

I have a 2011 26RKX CTX Cruiser fifth wheel.

I was wondering how to retract the slide if it happens to stick or the power fails?

I gave this question to the 'technician' that walked us through our new unit when we picked it upbut he said he didn't know and made no offer to find out for us.

Can anyone help?



Thanks;

The big slide has an opening on the curb side, If you open the cover and look you will see a big bolt, If some one were to open the slide you would see that bolt turn. There should be a manualcrank you use to do it manualy laying some where in your camper. The other I think you go under the bed for the bolt ?

Some have a metal tube with a pin sticking thru the frame on curb side (or oppiste of the slide)

On my 2011 30SKP there is a hole in each slide. Take your manual crank and thread it through the hole in the slide opposite to the one that is stuck. Position it on the metal rod with the pin through it. Crank clockwise to close the slide, counter clockwise to open it.

Thanks everyone for their input. I found the retract tube inside the trailer step well on my 26RKX. Hope this helps others with the same model.
