Manual 5th Wheel RV Jack Lift: Battery Dead? - Flagstaff RV

1. Open Rear Undercarriage Access Panel:

Find the rear undercarriage access panel near your camper's rear wheels. Open the panel to expose your 5th wheel's hydraulic pump.

2. Locate the Hydraulic Pump Handle:

Look for a small handle connected to the hydraulic pump. It might be located on the side or top of the pump housing.

3. Turn the Handle Clockwise:

Start turning the handle clockwise to manually engage the hydraulic pump and begin lifting the front jacks.

4. Continue Turning:

Keep turning the handle until the front jacks are at the desired height. You can use a level or measuring tape to ensure evenness.

5. Lock the Jacks:

Once the jacks are raised to the desired height, use the locking mechanisms on the jacks to secure them in place.

Warning:

- Be cautious when manually lifting your 5th wheel RV. Ensure it's secure on level ground to avoid accidents or injuries.

- Check the manufacturer's manual or consult a professional if you're unsure about your specific camper's lifting procedure.

- Only attempt this if your battery is fully discharged and can't power the electric jacks.
