I think we're at a standstill till we figure out how many amps we really need to prep for.
Like I said, my OE wires are not that huge (still need to physically check them), and take it from there...
Personally, I would never run the operating current through the remote switch.......I would use a Bosch 30 or 50 amp relay and use the switch to control the relay........with a coil operating current of only 160 mA......the least expensive remote would work just fine......
BTW........just for reference, a Barker tongue jack requires a 30 amp slow blow fuse.....
From the Alta websites frequently asked questions.......
Click here7. What kind of electrical load will the system handle?
The remote system will handle 35 continuous amps and 45 intermittent amps. When the remote is not running it will draw 6.5-7.0 mille amps. This is sufficient for all 12volt dc motors and hydraulic pumps that we have tested.
With that info in mind.......the Alta resources remote control unit is anything but overkill!
