Yes, I believe the engine can be started, but  the engine must be off to move the slides.

For what it's worth, I have a 2004 Monaco Knight with a non-sliding 7.5kw Onan generator.  When I had some work done by Cummins on the generator, they lifted up the whole motor home and then put a small manual lift under the generator and removed it from underneath the motor home very quickly.

Here are a couple YouTube videos which are informative: 

One popular driveline parking brake is Meritor DCM 1204 (I believe the 4 designates the shoe width in inches - there is also DCM 1203 and DCM 1205).  Note that this is only the drum and shoe assembly and actuating arm but does NOT include any adjustment mechanism.  There is no internal adjusting mechanism.  The rest of the actuating and adjusting mechanism, whether rod, electrical, cable, hydraulic or air operated, is supplied by the vehicle manufacturer.

In your case being air operated, I would expect your PB to be fully applied or released in 1-2 seconds.  In addition, a correctly designed, installed and adjusted drivelive PB should be able to hold a fully loaded vehicle on an xx% grade.  I don't recall what the xx% is, but it is spelled out in an FMVSS and the manufacturer must certify that the vehicle meets it.  I suspect is at least 10%.

As you have discovered from your research, your part is obsolete and no longer available.  Generally, but not always, there is a substitute part that will work.  I did a brief search, but was not able to find a substitute online. I would suggest trying to contact Omron (the manufacturer) or DigiKey or Mouser (2 large electronic distributors) to see if they can identify a suitable replacement.  Good luck.

Here's another option.  Cut and trim to size:

Take a hacksaw blade and cut the nylon down to the top of the aluminum threads. Use the tip of a good knife to pry one side of the nylon threads up.

My plug broke in exactly the same way (I over-tightened it trying to stop it from leaking).  Used a hack saw blade, like Ivylog said, in 3-4 places, then pried with a small flat blade screw driver and the plug easily deformed and I was able to grab with a needle nose pliers.  Plug remains came out surprisingly easily.  Use lots of Teflon when installing new plug.  Gene M

Try Challenger Door.  They make doors for motor homes, travel trailers, etc.

Nelson apparently was purchased by Cummins.  Cummins product line for filters is called Fleetguard.  Filter you are looking for is now  known as Fleetguard 84101B.  It should be available at any Cummins dealer.  It is also available as a pack of 6 from Amazon.

A photo would be very helpful.  See attached:https://autoplicity.com/2195712-anco-wiper-blades-16-wiper-armspartsassm?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0pyGw9q_5wIVT_DACh2PZwU5EAQYBiABEgLqfvD_BwE.  Is this what you are describing?  If so, this knurled drive can be replaced as shown.  Let us know.

I believe it is on the engine itself, not on the vehicle like pass. cars.
