RE: stuck slide
OK, I tried the override button. The answer is that the back of the slide moved, but the front did not. This afternoon I will get some friends together and try pushing.
Instead of pulling the connectors on the controller, would unplugging from 110 and disconnecting the battery have the same effect?
This happened while I’m home. We planned to head out camping on Monday. If we can push the slide in, we may do some cramped camping (slide stays in) anyway. See what else foes wrong before taking it in for service. I was also worried about how to get it to the dealer for repair.

RE: stuck slide
Thanks for the suggestion about pushing it. I saw the mode button, but I assumed that if the line is shorted, that won’t work. It is a smaller slide, so pushing it shouldn’t be too hard.
Does the slide stay in well enough that it is safe to drive?

stuck slide
The slide on my brand new trailer is stuck in the out position.
When I tried to pull it in, the back end moved, but the front end did not. After a few back and forth tries, neither end moves.
My previous trailer had a crank so I could move it manually, but I can’t find one on this trailer. Have they done away with them?
I can’t even figure out where the motor is.
After it stopped moving, I found the controller, which was flashing 8 times, which the label says is “short in wire from controller to motor” This is a covered underbelly, so I can’t see the wires, and it is still under warranty, so I don’t want to tear too much apart.
The trailer is an rPod 195.
I am plugged in, and it’s a new unit, so presumably the battery isn’t the issue.
Any suggestions how I can get the slide in?
