Makes it soo easy, plus, you have a light for hookin' up at night. Definatly do it. about the camper that has a problem with his jack: I don't know the excact mechanics of your jack, but mine sticks some times too when I raise or lowwer it to far. It has a hex(I think it's a 5/8) drive "emergency" fitting on the top end. It can be used by putting the correct socket on an 6-8" extension bar and reaching into get to it. Just crank it in the oppisite direction(you might have to "rock" it back and forth) a little bit and it should come loose. Once it's loose, the motor will drive it OK. Just a bit of advice. Be sure the screw threads have some grease( I use white Lithium)on them and the telescoping leg has some grease on it too. You can get Lithium grease in several different kinds of containers from an auto parts store. It also works great to lube the slide tracks that align the top and bottom halves. CAMP ON!

I can hear the motor and a clicking sound but wouldn't lift so I took cover off and tried to hand cranks just made a sound and moved a little then stopped. Any idea's on how to fix?

My zinger is a 2010 with a dometic ac unit. It only has one capacitor, before adding it i amp clamped the hot wire while plugged into my house. It took up to 15amps top start it. With the spp6 piggy backed to the herm and c termanals, the amp draw went up to 23. I still need to get the new generator and try it both ways but shouldnt the amp draw go down with the spp6?

Wired it today and was pleased that everything worked as planned. I drilled 1/4 inch hole in side of base plate and mounted the switch. had to mod the inside of thermostat to accomadate the switch. The wiring diagram was very helpful, at first couldn't figure out the use of the green wire to the RC terminal. I used a Honeywell TH 221 and the micromini switch from Radio shack.

It really made a huge difference in the appearence. It made the living area look larger and cleaner. We did the mod for $150 with supplies from Lowes. It was fairly easy and only took about 15 hours of work. We did this mod on our 32 ft. motorhome. It really made a huge difference in the appearence. It made the living area look larger and cleaner.
