    Leveling Jacks

    When I manually operate jacks while retracting; they stop and must let them rest for a few seconds before activating manual control. They occurs several times during retraction. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

    Low(ish) voltage causes higher amp draw which trips the auto reset 50 amp breaker. Many have replaced breaker with 80amp. Many threads around here describing the fix. I will attempt to find one.

    I think this will explain:

    2x what Jim said above. The stock 50A (auto reset) breaker is to small and tripping (then resetting after a couple of seconds). replace it with an 80 amp as Lippert recommends.

    I had the same problem of the jacks stopping and having to wait for reset. Just kept getting worse until I replaced the breaker with a heavier duty 80A. No problems since.
