slideout manually?

I've got an 07 MS 38RL and would like to know if someone can tell me how I could get the slideouts in manually if needed. Would like to be prepared before the eventuality happens.

Hey Ron,

I was more concerned with the slide toppers ripping up. We're at about 18,000+ lbs so 50 mph isn't going to do much with that. We're near palm beach.

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting! Who'd a thought the plating on the washers would reduct the amount of torque needed. Learn something new every day (hopefully).
