Our camper's curse has struck again. I can't extend the legs to load it on the truck. The switch that arms the jacking system doesn't light like it normally does, so I'm thinking a breaker or solenoid somewhere (I changed the remote's battery so that isn't it). I posted a cry for help on the TC forum with the details as I know them.
This puts a real crimp in my ability to join you all this weekend. :( I can operated the jacks by hand, of course, but this being the first time we'll have been camping this year there is everything to do to get ready. I don't know if I can crank and shop and so forth in time to make it to Deer Creek.
How long does it take to fully extend on of those puppies by hand, anyway? Is there an affordable 12VDC to 120VAC inverter that is powerful enough to power an electric drill from the truck (I don't have AC power where I store the camper)?
I hope I can make it, but...
