So, I may need to find someone in the Durham area who can go there if necessary. Looking for any recommendations of reliable RV repair shops in that area....Winnebago dealer or perhaps a good mobile RV repair.

if it is a hwh slide, call frank, hwh @ 563.724.3396.
hwh has excellent manuals on their website.
my hwh bedroom slide has 2 depressurizing solenoids, one for the extend and one for the retract function. when both are backed off about 3 turns, the slide can be pushed in by 3 strong men and a boy.
i added a fitting near the floor on the metal slide face between the closet and the bed so i can put a 3 ft long 2x4 outside the bedroom window across the wall studs and pull the slide in with a come along. i added a fitting on the floor near the heat register so that i can lock the slide in also.
the fittings and the strap came from one of the winne supplied fittings and strap for the front slide. i purchased another set of fittings and a strap from winnebage.com. for the front slide.
i also cut 3 2x4's (2 for front slide, 1 for rear) to use in the overhead to keep the slides from going out without a command.
my rear slide extended about 9'' while i was on the l-5 bridge between oregon and washington and would not stay retracted.
that is a story too long to repeat here, but it is in the archives if anyone is interested.
