Thank you for your quick response. I had planned on taking it to the dealership first thing this morning but went out there just to try what you said......well, the slide out now works and I didn't do anything. This still doesn't give me a warm fuzzy on heading out camping. I still don't know why it didn't work in the first place or why it decided to work now. Plus, I have no idea how to retract it in the event of a problem....that's something I think I should know. As far as all the money, I blew it on all on cabbage patch dolls and beenie babies thinking those things would make a nice investment....boy I was wrong. FBI will never find me since my gender change operation (LOL) Thanks again and wish me luck!
