I moved my RV from a full hookup campsite on thursday and now on sunday when I went to retracted the front jacks I didn't have any power to raise them. I have a battery that showed fulled charged when I packed up to leave, and my refrig was on auto so it would switch to gas, so I can't figure out why now after 3 days I don't have battery power to retract the front jacks. ??? any ideas ???

Hi Harleygirl,
Welcome to iRV2. Can you provide additional information? Brand of jacks and coach, current battery reading (volts), any noises when you try the jacks, etc. Anything else that is out of the ordinary. Do you have a generator? Have you tried to run the generator? thanks, Gary 2005 KSDP 3910 Wheelbase 252" Cummins ISC 330 HP, 950 FT LBS Torque Tow With Tow Bar & Dolly (not at the same time) Coach & Towed Combined Weight Is 34K lbs.

I suspect in three days, you have/had something else on the battery as a load and drained it down to where it ain't gonna work!!. Gary said it right, have you tried your generator ?? It should be able to operate your converter which in turn should allow you to operate your jacks.

Don't forget some systems require the ignition key to be on and some require it to be off. Make sure parking brake is still set. Like others have stated, get the battery voltage up and then retry. Let us know what you find out.

I don't know what type of RV you decided on to pull behind that F150, but there is a thread on another forum about the same thing. One RV tech there advised to have the battery checked. It showed 13.1 volts, however when each cell was checked the specific gravity was low in some cells. They replaced the battery and the jacks operated normally.
