Bringing slide in manually

[nvmtman]

I have a 2015 Wildcat Maxx 24RG. How do bring in the slide manually in the event of failure? Thank you, Dan

Good morning, Dan


You owners manual should have the info you're looking for. If you don't have that then the manufacturer's website should have the info. Do you have a through the frame actuator or an above the floor actuator? And what brand is it?


EDIT: I followed the links from the Forest River interactive manuals page and here's the link to the manuals for the various types of slides for your unit:

As Lance said, in most, if not all TT there is a crank where you can insert a 3/4 socket and manually crank the slide in or out. It can be laborious so it can help if you have a power drill and bit. On my Coachman, the crank is located on the opposite side of the trailer from the slide side.

I used to own a 2015 Wildcat Maxx T24RG. It comes with a crank handle and a place to crank from underneath the trailer

The FR owners manual has no model-specific nor brand-specific information. Only basic RV systems information.
So the only information specific to that particular slideout, would be from the slideout system manufacturer, not Wildcat or Forest River.
The manual you provided a link to, is the same generic manual for all the TT/5th Wheel brands.

In Lance R's defense, the page he cited does have a LOT of component manuals. If you click the Slideout link, it leads to SIX different Lippert and Schwintek manuals, one of which is probably the correct one.

The FR websites may be getting a little bit better than you are used to. Check it out.

Thanx for the information, Larry.
I was specifically talking about the RV's factory owners manual.
I know that there are numerous manuals from the other manufacturers that FR uses their products to build the RVs.
I just want new owners to know that there is no owners manual from FR, that contains specific information, on their particular brand/model.
