Although the "manual over-ride" of this system is only good if the system integrity other than the pump motor is still intact, I don't believe we are "up the creek" necessarily. I would depend on a couple of things like the ratchet strap type of load binders to pull in my slideouts. You could attach a strap at one end of the slideout and if the alignment rack is still intact, the slideout should come in parallel. The bedroom slideout could be brought in the same way by attaching a ratchet strap to framing under the bed once the mattress is lifted and cover boards removed.
I haven't looked closely but perhaps there is an access method to get to the ends of the alignment shaft (the shaft with the gears on it that mesh with the tracks under the slideout supports) and if so perhaps even a rachet handle could be used to turn that shaft and bring slides in or out??
As mentioned by previous poster; this is our second trailer with hydraulic system and have had no problems with either unit.
