I’m just trying to be proactive and learn as much as I can about my travel trailer. I’m just curious as to how I can crank my slide out in or out without any power. The manual doesn’t give too much detail on how it’s done. I have watched some videos on you tube but nothing seems to coincide with my particular trailer. The venture manual says there is a 3/4 nut that is welded to the bar underneath the camper, but I did not see it. Any pics or help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 251vrk with one slideout.

We have the SportTrek Touring ... I'd think SportTrek would be the same. We have BAL NXG slides.

So, there is a shaft for each slide runs completely from one side of the TT to the other side. So go to the opposite side of the TT from the slide, look underneath for the slide shaft, it will have a 3/4" nut welded to the end that can be turned with a rachet or a low powered drill. Try it - no harm in trying to move it in or out manually.
