Answer
Hello

is the seller not available to ask?  Off hand, I dont exactly know where it is.

I doubt there is a crank because these are heavy and need to slide out evenly.  It would be very tough to crank one out, I would imagine.  That is not to say there is no crank.  My slide is power and the lights dim when under power.

Therefore there is a button somewhere.  It can be anywhere but usually in the area of the slide.  I imagine there may be a series of buttons together.  Maybe the water pump, outdoor lights, and slide.  It would be a toggle switch...up for out/down for in...or vise versa.  it would be inside the camper.  possibly near a door.  May be up high, so you don't accidently bump it.  

Do you see any switches that seem to do nothing?  This may be it.  

It may not slide if the RV is off center.

good luck, wish I could help more.  Have fun camping.
