Have thought about just putting a loop on the slide, connecting to the TV with a tow strap and just pulling it out (is easier to retract since can push).

Have also been thinking about manual assist devices to help raise the end modules particularly the front where the tongue and propane bottles are in the way. Perhaps just a n inverted V with a pulley at the top.

Once I put the TV into the equation, it just leaves the rear section which is generally easier for me just as closing is generally easier than opening.

Guess being an ME first and EE second I tend to look to mechanical answers rather than jumping right to electrics..
