Adding a remote control to existing camper jacks

Is there any way to add a remote control to my Attwood electric camper jacks? I have included a picture below of one of the jacks. I don't know the model number.
  • If you think that's expensive, try upgrading from MANUAL jacks.

    A set of electric jacks for my camper cost more than the camper is worth!
  • Thanks for the speedy replies and the helpful information. I had no idea this project would be so expensive. I think I may have to start throwing some nickels in the cookie jar!
  • I have the same jacks on my camper. I added them a couple of years ago. I did not have the factory installed wireing so I had to wire them myself. If your set up is made for 4 separate circuits coming to a single point the job would be easy. Check out Adventure RV .com they have the remote control set up . I've wanted to buy it myself but I've spent way to much now on my camper.
  • You will need something like this for wireless remote control. Remote clicky

    I'd contact Atwood for the correct control box for your application.
  • I have jacks very similar to that on my TC. I take it those are switches at the bottom. Mine don't have that because they're on the remote.
    If your 4 jacks are wired with separate power circuits you could buy the remote control, install it to feed the appropriate circuits, and bypass the individual jack switches.
