slide out Elkridge express

[sbtraveler]

Where to insert tool to manually operate the slide out room on the Elkridge express 2013? I am at a total loss as I am unable to find the place to insert the tool.

Hi sbtraveler,

Is the slide hydraulic or electric?

 

[sbtraveler]

Yes, its electric and I simply cannot find the hole to insert the tool

Hopefully another Elkridge Express owner can provide the answer. If not, on Monday, call Heartland Customer Service at 877-262-8032 / 574-262-8030. Have your VIN # ready.

Thank you, I've owned two other 5th wheels in the past Sunnybrook, and Damon-challenger both larger units and the manual slide out contact was always near the motor but those were hydraulic. The unit is a 2013 E22 and from another site on the web it shows a place on coach 2014 model not far from the room as to where to insert the tool. On mine there is no such opening. It works fine but I probably should know just in case. Again, thanks.

Not sure,,, but look on top of the slide. Some models you need to remove the upper trim to access the slide motor. You might check the HUG area for more slide information.

Unless they have changed it since our 2011 was built the location for manual crank of the slide is the round hole just to the left of the top step.

Inside this hole there is a connection that fits the end of the manual crank.

Hope this helps you out!

Thanks, I never thought the access point would be on the front or door side of the coach.
