Switch Location for Rear Stabilizer

[rwellesley]

I purchased a set of Power Pak electric motors to raise and lower the rear stabilzers. I am curious where others have located the switches for these. Is the best location in the compartment next to the switch for the front stabilizer or should they be located somewhere near the stabilzer they are controlling?

The new Montana's have electric rear stabilizers and the switch is located in the lower rear panel on the curb side. One switch operates both stabilizers and I like the location because I can see when the pads make contact with the ground.

I agree with Nailbender about the location being good. However, if possible, I would like them to be controlled separately so that I could more easily accommodate uneven ground.

Nailbender, thanks for the suggestion on the location. I think having them to the rear of the unit will help see them come down ans you suggested. I installed the switches on the street side to the right of the sewer hose compartment.

Stiles my set came with two switches, I haven't seen the 10th Anniversary unit, however you should be able to add an additional switch and operate them independent of each other

On our Big Sky the rear stabilizer is controlled my a central screw shaft and as the pads go down if the ground is uneven one foot touches the high ground and the screw keeps lowering the other pad till it too touches the ground. Then it starts to take the weight evenly. I have found that if I get the rig fairly level with the Lego blocks then everything else stays level even if the ground in the rear is not level. Since the rear unit is operated on one screw and one motor I see no reason for two switches... Dave and Betsy
