So, now we’re stuck with this 36’ beast in our subdivision, parked in front of our house until next Monday (6 days) before we can pay someone to tow it to our dealer.
We had someone come out via Coach-Net to manually get the slide in and locked before driving it back to the dealer. I wasn’t around, but the tech said it was jammed (only can move an inch before throwing a 2-green, 8-red error) and it couldn’t be done. It would need to be towed with the full slide extended. This sounds like a disaster in the making with further damage being done to alignment or frame due to it being towed 45 minutes down country roads to the dealer.
Am I wrong?
The guide posted above makes me think that there is indeed a way to disengage the motors that the tech didn’t know about. I’m wondering if I should take matters into my own hands and see if I can find those things and do that part myself.
Any thoughts? Much more knowledge and experience here than what I think I’ve been getting over phone calls, unfortunately.

Absolutely do not tow with slide extended. This would be disastrous!! While at Wakarusa last December, the tech told me...if you have a slide stuck in any position...go to the controller box under the slide in the nearest storage bay...disconnect the two white wires on each side of the controller (this unlocks the motors)...this will allow manual 'pushing' the slide back in. Once in place, reconnect the white wires and this will lock the motors back in place so as to hold the slide in.
