I think these motors are always loose - they sort of flop around a bit if memory serves. There should be an inline self resetting 40 or 50 amp fuse in the front storage. So I don't know what 30 amp fuse you are talking about. ?????

Our 2007 had an inline fuse for the front jacks that also became problematic. Our solution was to upgrade to a 40 amp inline fuse. As is usual in the world of. Montana quality control, some models in that era came with 30 amp fuses and some came with 40 amp fuses. Our 2007 did not have auto-reset breakers.

Several years ago in Palo Duro Canyon State Park my front jacks suddenly started blowing the in-line fuse when I tried to raise them to hitch up. About to panic as that is pretty remote and we needed to be on the road. Blew 3 fuses before I figured out I had not loosened the T handles on my JT Strongarm struts.
