hello
the switch to raise the elec. jacks is installed inside of a clean h2o gate. the one i bought is rectangle in shape approx. 5"x6" OD. cut out approx. 3"x4.5" ID. in the side of the camper. the door has the old ch751 key.
install door just below orange running light on street side of camper. ( 07 yr.) cut out the back of water gate for the switch. remove the switch from the storage area and secure switch to the back of the gate. install water gate with lockable door into side of camper. i used 1/4"x1" sheet metal screws to secure door to camper. i used butyl tape for adhesive.
i made this modification on 2 montanas. worked good for me.
note: be extra careful when laying out the cutout in the side of your camper. you have a support running down the front side of camper. drill four small pilot holes before you start cutting.
i have the 40 amp. fuse and have pulled 43 amps while raising camper. original fuse lasted about 1.5yrs.
don't know how to do pic. on the site.
