Hi, I have a 95 skyline 860 truck camper and are converting the manual jacks to electric, looks pretty straight foward except for the wiring, the camper is pre wired for jacks, it has a socket at either corner with red and black wires but I can't find where they go to in the camper, all info says under sink or near battery's but I can't find anything that looks like them without pulling sink or water heater out, does anyone know where they'd be hidden or any ideas?

Fuse should be located pretty close to battery, ours are small metal breakers attached to floor just behind battery box. However as its a pre-wire wires may not have been run that far and terminate there. Might be coiled anywhere if fuse or resettable breaker not also installed. Possibly (with a tether in case you drop) stick a camera back in look around. Though I would assume easy to gain access, I wouldnt assume actually connected-but test. Forward water tank box? Worst case I can think is plugs installed but wire not run. Might pull one-to verify wire extended, ours used crimp-on terminals, plug leads fairly short.

Was it made by this company by any chance?

(they make TTs and 5th wheels today)
Might be worth a try to contact them.

Hi, doesn't have kill switch, can't find fuses for turn signals, might be next to water heater under sink? Can't see down the side of it.

On my '95 Lance 880 it's terminated under the sink next to the panel with fuses for the turn signals and running lights.

9 times out of 10 the jack controller is located in the compartment where the battery kill switch is located. Maybe fish around in there and see if they are bundled.
