Maybe it is. I was just searching how to manually retract mine. No luck. And my manual says you can but nothing tells me where that in ON the camper.

Good morning Jay. Sounds like a poorly written manual, or it is supposed to be very obvious.

Good morning Jay!

I know you are suppose to be able to manually retract them. Maybe call the dealer and talk to service.

Didn't do anything tonight but I did find the locations to manually move the slides and jacks. Probably deal with that tomorrow.

Question, our 2011 f150 5.0 has the p0420 code for catalytic inefficiency. I have changed up and down stream O2 sensors. I asked in the 150 forum and someone said some possible other than the cat, wiring, timing and a couple other things. only code it is throwing. Is the cat screwed?

Haven't worked on them much at all so not a lot of help but it sounds to me like its time for a cat delete or replacment.

guess I’ll try some cat cleaner through the fuel. There is a way to cheat it by using a spark plug de-Fowler. Basically just moves the O2 sensor farther away so it creates a great difference in the two readings

Happy Saturday Jim. I have no experience with that unfortunately.

Still haven't figured out the camper. Manual override didn't work. Ugh!

Got some more wiring done in the shed today. Hope to gwt a bunch more done tomorrow. I hot the two outside lights up and wired. Only one is on a switch so far. And one interior light. 7 more to go. Lol
