Bob,
We had problems with our large slide pausing while bring in or out. I replaced the 12 volt in-line circuit breaker with a new one and it fixed the problem. I have used a cordless drill to bring the slides in. If you look at the end of the hydraulic pump you will see a sticker on the end. Remove this sticker and a hexagonal connector will be visible. I used a hexagonal bit in the drill and was able to retract the slide. This information should be in the owners manual you received with the coach. Hope this helps!
