Hi all!
I just bought a skyline nomad scout 275 and am not able to get power to it as of right now. I’m trying extend my slide out but I can’t find where to do it. I have a lever but no idea where to attach it to extend the slide out. I appreciate any help!

You will need a fully charged battery. Should be a switch marked extend.

Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

Welcome to the forum!

If you are looking for a hole for your manual crank, they are often on the opposite side of trailer than slide.

I looked all around the rv but there aren’t any holes for the crank to go. I’m not sure if there’s another way?

What type of slide does it have:
- Rack and Pinnion: Typicaly a hole on the opposite side with a long handled tool.
- Cable: you need to go above the slide and fit a tool into the motor and turn with a drill.
- Hydralic: there may be a place on the hydraulic pump to fit a tool and turn with a drill.

If no power, no battery, you could use jumper cables from your tow vehicle battery to camper cables to extend slide. Just be sure of proper pos/neg hookup!
