I got curious as I didn't know exactly how the manual unlock worked.......... took off the access panel, turned the screw and the little white arm dropped down.......... then what? The owner's manual wasn't clear (to me anyways). I took off the entire trim panel to figure it out.

Once the white arm drops, you will see a silver tab/arm, push the tab to the right.

For the 1958 campers........It would be fairly easy to make a tab extension with a piece tubing (I'm thinking brake line tubing) squished flat on one end (not completely closed, but just enough for a tight slip over the tab) When camping, you could install the extension and when not needed easily removable.
