Can all slides be manually opened and closed?

I do not know about "all" but from 2003 and foward on the Sunlines I would believe that is a, yes they do. Mine has a hole in the fender are where I can insert a hand crank. Your 2007 I'm sure must have one.

Are you having trouble with yours or need to know where to look for the hole and crank?

Hope this helps

Fiveaday I have a T280 the hole for the hand crank should be between the front door and the window on the lower panel , I asked because Sunline never took the knockout out and never put in the rubber gromet.
If you cant fine it ask the dealer or I kope some one here and tell you

Fiveaday, I'm just seeing this now...

Seeing that you have a 257SR, aka low profile slide room, you probably won't have a hole in the fender.

I don't think I've ever physically been in a 257SR, but I'm guessing your couch is sitting flat on the bottom of the slide floor, correct? In other words it isn't raised up on 2x4's covered in carpeting?

When you pick up the flaps hanging down from the couch, you should be able to see the motor there. On the motor, you will have a thing sticking out where you could put the crank handle if you got one or a pipe with a slot cut in the end. Because of the slide being only the couch and not level with the floor, you wouldn't have the motor underneath and then wouldn't have the manual override underneath.

As the others have said, the gearing isn't made for regular cranking, so don't decide to do that just because you don't want to put a battery on, etc. If you do have to crank on it, go slow and gentle.

Jon

I would agree as well about being easy with it. We have used the hand crank when our battery was dead and had no problems. Just make should everything is in good shape and lubed up so you you don't have any binding issues.
