big fuse locations

[plasticmaster]

I have a Vibe 308BHS. Yesterday my electric tongue jack would not work. I followed red wire coming from it and found a fuse holder with a blown fuse. I replaced the fuse and now all is good. This got me thinking. Where are the other fuses for the other high draw 12V items. Specifically the electric stabilizers, and the electric slide outs? The fuse/breaker panel inside the camper contains fuses for low power items like lights, water pump, etc, correct? I know the 120 ac breakers are in this panel also. Just trying to find all these fuse locations for when the time comes. Thanks.

I've never seen any tongue jack with a resettable CB wired inline ... AFAIK all TJ manufacturers use a simple inline fuse, if it blows you gotta replace it. 😉

True....TJ MFGs use an in-line fuse.

RV MFGs have their own ideas/ways of doing things.

Could be DC Circuit Breaker (Auto or Manual Rest) or In-Line fuse

One common thread is that at least they usually install any of those fairly close to battery (Slides, Jacks, Stabilizers, Landing Gear etc)

No two manufacturer's (or models) are alike. You will likely have to find the fuse the same way as you found the last one, by following the wire. But in all likelihood, only something like the tongue jack, power slide or powered stabilizers are going to have a fuse outside of the fuse panel.
