The MS electromechanical system is similar to your Carriage. The manual crank only works if the gearing is intact. After our gear failure, I picked up a couple of "come-alongs" to winch the slideout in if we had another failure. As is usually the case, if one has the tools, he never needs them - we haven't had any problems since that single gear failed.
