How to drop pop up if battery dies

Hi there
Newbie here and was wondering what to do if my Palomino pop up truck camper battery dies while i'm camping and I need to drop it still. The access to the manual locations is terrible. Would a pocket battery booster work? What are my options,
Thanks in advance for any help possible

Plug into your tow vehicle and start the engine. That should do it.

Smile Manual crank location

On the cover over the lift motor, on the passenger side, there is a 2" rubber plug: remove it to expose a hex shaft end, and use the stabilizer crank to manually lower the pop-up. Or, if you have a socket that size and a battery powered drill, use that instead. Takes a long time, but effective. Doesn't drain the TV battery.
