Just got back from four days out. I went to take my camper off and my Happi Jacks won't do anything. I went to the control box where their is reference to a circuit breaker but I can't seam to locate it. The camper is plugged in with full power. Any ideas?

Have you checked the fuses inside the control box?

Thefuses are a good possibility, also check the cord, & the socket. It does not take much moisture to turn those pins green and then it won't work. Most manufactuers instakll the socket with the pins on the bottom rather than th etop. Any phone guy will tell you that is a no no. Too easy for moisture to sit there or junk to fall on it. Although it looks like a standard phone cord, it is not, the pins are rolled. If you have an RJ-11 crimping tool you can make one up (sometimes you can find them at Home depot, or flag down a phone man)

Just pulled my TC out of storage today with one jack frozen. Could hear it click. Pull gear box apart and was a stuck motor. Grabbed output gear with vise grips that just happened to have the teeth on it match EXACTLY with the splines on the motor. Twisted, sprayed with lube, all is good.


Love the camping life.

Update..... The hot wire connected to the 40 amp breaker under the tub on the front step (to the bed) had slipped out of the connector. The folks at Pan Pacific RV in Roseville Ca, jumped right on it and fixed it without charge.
