Title: Slide crank
Post by: Tarnold on December 20, 2019, 04:33:23 pm
There is an access port in the bottom left that I read can be used with a crank the slide back in when all else fails.  Looked all over but can’t find one.  Please describe what this looks like.

It's a crank... About 3' long, silver.  It comes from the factory in the rear storage area along with a bottle jack with pump handle & shore power cord.

No crank, no bottle jack.  Is there some kind of hex head on the end of the crank.  Is it something like the old folding crank that came with a ford pickup.  I could weld something up if I had approx dementions.

Just a WAG.  PC switched to a Lippert/Schwintek slide a year or so ago.  Dont believe they have a manual crank system.

If you Goggle them they have a bunch of videos on how to electronically adjust, and operate the slide if it malfunctions

It's nothing special.   Pull the plastic cover off the hole in the slide or open the slide and look at it from the bottom.  My memory is it's just a hex head.  I could look at my crank but it's in storage several miles away.

You can also call the factory talk to Carol, I sure they can sell you a new one.

If you don't have a spare tire on the back, you won't have a jack.

Phoenix accidentally included a manual crank with our PC even though we don't have a slide out.  It is nothing special.  I think you would be better off carrying a modest socket set in your tool box which will meet other emergency needs.
