Help 3010DS slideout concern

[kins83]

I have a 2016 3010DS. My wife and I were playing Farckle and a dice got away from us, it went under the slide under the dinette and has gone missing. It looks like it probably went down into an opening where the servo motor, probably running a gear rack is. I got one week until I need to pull the slide in and leave. Does anyone know if there is any access point to get in there. My are isn't going to fit in that space to try and fish it out from there. We're traveling for a couple of months with several stops and I feel like sooner or later this will be a problem. Going to attach a sweeper on the dinette portion of the slide so it doesn't happen again.

get yourself a mechanics mirror (harbor tool and freight) and a flash light and look in there and see if the dice is in a place that may cause problems. you may also be able to grab it with a mechanics retrieval tool. Both of these tool are very inexpensive.

If a mirror does not work, there are horoscopes which are not too expensive, compared to a worst case scenario repair.

If you cannot find and remove it already:

I would also take one of the other die's, and see if it crunches/breaks easy, say in a nut cracker. If it is relatively fragile, I would not personally spend a large amount of time looking for it.

If you have compressed air access, you can spray some air in to see if you can move things around. Or maybe a vacuum, duct tape, and some small flexible hose (one just enough to fit a die in, one smaller, to suction it to the hose end).

Maybe something flexible with a ball of reversed duct tape on the end.
