  • Manual Slide Operation on 2020 240RL 5th Wheel

    How do you manually operate this slide-out? Manual says it is via a 1" access hole in the skirt (similar to spare tire access). That hole isn't there though. Anyone know the real answer? No issues, just getting familiar with my new unit.

    Welcome to Grand Design's (Technical) Owners' Forum. Noted that was your first post, so please check out the Welcome Letter to New Members if you'd like to learn more about this forum. Link here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/main-fo...to-new-members

    To your question: the slide in the 240RL is commonly called a Schwintek slide. Lippert calls it an In-Wall slideout. This type of slide does not have a manual override. What you're reading in the manual is applicable to a thru-frame slideout.

    More information on the Schwintek on Lippert's (LCI) website: https://support.lci1.com/in-wall-slide-out

    There's also good information in the Reference Material channel on an alternative method of syncing your Schwintek (should it be necessary). Check it out!

      Only my Reflection 303, there is an access hole on the curb side for the slide manual extension, but not the street side. It appears that the street side would need to come out between the tires. GD chose not to put the hole in the plastic tire skirt.
