Front landing gear, slide outs, rear electric stabilizer jacks......ALL are wired DIRECTLY to battery because of the HIGH amp draw.

Battery disconnect is for 'Storage'........disconnects battery from trailer DC System so that parasitic drains are minimized during periods of non-use.

When camping LEAVE it in normal position

The landing gear box is a 3:1 ratio........OK when motor is driving it but lots of cranks when YOU are the driver

BTDT and took turns :B
