Atwood Remote Control Issue

My control for the slide and jacks in my Lance 1181 has gone crazy. I believe it is in the remote. It is an Atwood model 88022. See photo.

I have been unable to find one. If anyone has one they are not using, or know of a replacement, I am in need.

    No more spare parts for Atwood since they were bought out by HJ...So either find a used one, or try to fix the existing one. But there is not necessarily something wrong with the remote, the receiver may be broken just as well. *IF* the remote is the culprit, that may be due to a loose solder connection. Some specialists have resoldered boards with a heat gun with some success. Might be worth a try.

    Rieco Titan jacks are fully compatible (or so I have read here https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/news/rieco-titan-announces-atwood-replacement-kit/), and you may be able to replace the control board and remote with their Electronic Control Kit - Model Number 36131. But their remote does not look like it has an extra button for the slide...

    Good luck!



    Yep, before I changed out the jacks from the old Atwood's to the new RT I hooked up the control box and used the remote. I did change out the control box though. FYI, If you can follow a wire it's the easiest thing in the world to do. Literally plug and play and I have an 1181. It did control the Atwood's! To much info but heck that's what we do around here.... LOL
