I did not want to post how important Scott was to us in this process, but since he has posted I suppose Prevost is OK with him providing help.
He helped us at a critical moment.
We followed the Prevost shop manual for slides that Roger had. We were attempting to prevent the pins from engaging. Roger was in the bedroom operating the slide. Jim was standing outside relaying the messages and I was laying on my back in the second bay pushing on the button clearly shown in the shop manual to prevent the pins from extending. Unfortunately the button I pushed caused the pins to extend and the slide room was partially extended. The pins had extended against the glass. Roger could see the glass flex.
In case anyone is unaware, the technical terms expressed when stuff like that happens is "oh shit!"
Roger called Scott, and after some confusion between Roger, Scott and me we got the information we required to retract the pins from Scott and the rest of the project went very well. In the article that will be posted we explain how not to get in the mess we got ourselves into. Without Scott's help Roger would not be happy with us.
