Just picked up 2009 Wildcat 30loft yesterday. Rear stabilizer jack worked during walk through but now that it's in my driveway it's no longer working. I checked for electric going to motor and there is none. Could have damaged scraping gettting into driveway but there really is no noticable damage. Has anyone had this problem? Could there just not be enough power from battery??? I checked fuses and all are fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Well by what you say it sounds like you have electric rear stabilizers. I would hook up electric to your camper. If you do not have 30/50 outlet just go get an adapter for 120. Hook up the electric and try it.

Another thing you could try is hook up a battery charger/ use jumper cables from your TV to the batteries. Then try again.

Another thing to try.. might be to hook the cord back to the tow vehicle, start the tv and see if that gives enough boost to the battery to do the stabilizers.
Used to have to do that trying to get a slide out everyonce in a while if fifth-wheel sat to long. Strange that it happened when you brought it home, but then
strange things to happen.

Do what LadyRVer said. There just may not be enough juice in the batt.
Or- plug into shore power for a while and see if batt. comes up.

Are you sure your rear jacks are electric? Most are not.

First of all thank you soo much for your help. We called the dealer today to make an appt. to have the rear stabilizer motor checked 3 hours away!!! Then went out and found a seperate switch that operates the rear!!! OMG there is sooo much to know. SO THANKFUL to have this forum. Should have taken everyone's advice when they told us to video tape the walk through!!!
