If the jacks continue to operate push the control
switch and the light will go out. The jacks should
disengage. If they continue to operate, unplug the
jack(s) from their exterior plug and contact your
Nücamp RV service center.
NOTE: When operating the jacks with a low 12V battery, the
‘all jacks’ extend and retract feature may not work. In that
case, use the individual jack buttons to operate the jack.
When operating the jacks by remote control, visually inspect
all four jacks to ensure that they are responding properly and
that you are following proper lifting or lowering camper
procedures.
DO NOT over-extend or over-retract the jacks. The electric
jack has an internal slip clutch to help prevent damage. If a
clicking sound is heard, release switch. Continuing to hold the
switch will cause undue wear on the slip clutch and/or cause
damage to the motor.
Removing Camper from Truck
1) Position the truck/camper combination on firm level
ground. If needed use 12” sq., ¾” plywood support
pads under each jack to prevent sinking into the
ground or asphalt.
2) Disconnect and/or remove the following items;
a) Front and rear turnbuckles
b) 7-way camper power cord
3) Using your remote control, operate all jacks together
until the camper clears the truck bed by 4”. If it is
necessary to operate the jacks individually starting
with the front jacks, extend the jacks no more than 4”
at a time. Keep the camper as level as possible.
Repeat the process until the camper has cleared the
truck bed by approximately 4”.
4) Slowly drive the truck from under the camper until it
clears the camper and the front overhang.
5) Lower the camper with the rear jacks first, the lower
the front jacks no more than 4” at a time.
Always lower camper back down close to ground level. Do
not use Homemade sawhorses, cinderblocks etc. to support the
camper in the raised position. Do not enter or occupy the
camper in a raised position.
Please see link below for recommended support systems. (For
long term storage)

Your camper is designed to be used while standing on the
jacks in a lowered position without damage to the camper.
When lowering camper, do not allow camper bumper to touch
the ground. Damage may occur. Allow two inches of
clearance to the ground.
Electric Jacks
Electric jacks need 12-volt automotive battery power to
operate. The camper battery must be charged and in good
condition. If the battery is too low to operate the jacks, charge
the battery before using jacks. If the camper is on the truck,
starting the truck’s engine will supply power to the jacks if the
7-way electrical power cord is connected. If no power is
available or battery power is to low switch the power “OFF”
to the receiver. This will eliminate the dynamic braking effect
of the motor. Remove the access cap on the top of the
powerhead. The crank shaft of the gearbox will be accessible
to turn with a 3/8” ratchet wrench. Rotate the wrench counter-
clockwise to raise the jack and clockwise to lower the jack. Do
not activate the motor with the wrench still on the crank shaft.
Do not use the electric jacks to raise or lower the camper using
only 120-volt power. The converter’s charger will be damaged
if the jacks are operated with 120-volt power through the 12-
volt converter without a 12-volt battery installed in the
camper.
Before operating the remote control electric camper jacks, be
sure to read and understand the operating instructions that
were provided with your camper pertaining to their safe
operation.
Jack Remote Control
There are two remotes for the jacks, if the remote battery dies
simply plug it into the remote cable port on the activation
switch panel with provided cable, if the black remote doesn’t
there is a backup remote on the jack fuse panel.
The hand held remote control operates on radio frequency,
which is like remote units for garage door openers. The remote
is powered by a battery located under the removable cover on
the back of the remote unit. The remote has a range of up to 20
feet from the camper. Occasional frequency interference from
other nearby remote control devices may occur. This will only
result in momentary pauses during the extend or retract
operation.
