Usually those slides can be moved with the long flexible bit and shaft that's included with the unit (or should have been).

This also assumes it's a cable slide and not a gear slide, although I think a gear slide can be operated manually also. Just google manual slide operation

Did that a few times yesterday too but no luck. Neighbor and I managed to push slide in most of the way so at least it is not out on the street. I can tow to a dealer at least but would rather a mobile tech. Thanks for the post.

Try Horton RV in Shepard. I live in SE so it was 10k for me to tow it with a slide out. No mobile techs would come to site.

It’s 2 years ago, but Swift RV helped me out with a plumbing dilemma on very short notice. Quick to diagnose, quick to repair, very reasonable price. They do have a mobile service. Located in Delacour. Hope this helps.

I've used Dave's Mobile RV in Calgary in the past. He does good work. It's definitely the busy season for them.

Trailer is at Horton RV and they got me in quick. Parts ordered. I can fix most issues on my trailers over the years but schwintek slides gears and motors are above me.
