Handheld Remote control for awning,rear jacks.slides,etc.?

[Ezbagr]

Anyone ever seen a handheld remote for the awning,rear jacks,and slide outs? Reason I am asking is because on my `09 Cardinal I found a brochure that showed remotes. I bought this Cardinal used so I do not know if the first owner had one or not.

Our Destiny has it for the front and rear landing gear, the awning, and all four slides - use it about 50% of the time...

it's nice when it's the extremes in weather and you can sit inside until the last minute when setting up or shutting down 🙂

We visit a few places where many trees are in the way of the slides also I can watch out for the low hanging branches

We use ours about half of the time, mostly when in tight spots and concerned about clearance. It is useful in my opinion.

Happy Camping

Too close to a tree! :SUsing remote allowed me to stop and reposition fiver! Oh and have brought in the awning at night when, wind came up! Right from bed!

Guess you didn't get one.

Have one for my Bighorn. Works slides,jacks,awning, and porch light.

Nothing like being able to raise or lower the pin on the trailer from the truck cab when hooking up.

Have one on our Jayco Eagle.Use it all the time.

Nice to have when you think you need it.

We have one for our Heartland Bighorn.

We have 2 remotes (liked the first one, we ordered a second) for our 2009 Cedar Creek Silverback and use them all the time. One stays in the trailer, the other in the truck.

They operate the slides, awning, front stabilizers, and door/stair lights.

Very helpful when hooking up, DW uses as I back up. We have the bedsaver, and the trailer needs to be raised slightly first, before lowering down...they are handy.

I use mine for hitching\unhitching and coming back after dark. It's a 'double remote' built into one controller. The top portion of the key fob controls the awning and patio light. The lower section controls the slides and landing gear.

Have one on my sunset trail . Really don't use it.
