Truck camper electric jack pre wiring

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?
  • 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.
  • On my '95 Lance 880 it's terminated under the sink next to the panel with fuses for the turn signals and running lights.
  • 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.
  • Was it made by this company by any chance?

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