Problem with front jacks?- Yeah, operator problems

Getting ready to leave Palo Duro Canyon and started raising front jacks. In-line 30 amp fuse blew. Only had a 25 amp fuse but installed it and tried again. Blew again. What is wrong?. Never a problem before. Only had some 15 amps left, but why not try? Blew again.
Looked for campground host but could not find them. Went to campground store but they had no fuses.
OK. Break out the handle and do it manually. Very hard to raise. Then it hits me. Why don't you loosen the T handles on the JT Strongarm stabilizers dummy? Was glad I had not found the hosts now.
Loosened those, put in another 15 amp fuse, and jacks raised fine. Replace the 15 with the proper 30 at next stop.
Hopefully I learned a lesson there.

Something like the time that I blew three in a row, until I figured out the rear stabilizers were still down?? Oh well, all of us have times of eating humble pie, hopefully, it never gets to the point that it is the preferred dessert!!!

I often do some dumb trick and look to see who's watching. Like bumping my head on the bedslide.

Even if you do not hit your head on the bedroom slide, your actions make it look like you have done it before!!!

Hmmmm, seems I've done that before. My solution was to install the 6 point level up system which is a little more expensive than fuses LOL

I thought that was a requirement of owning a 5th wheel, doing dumb things.
