Electric rear stabilizer jacks

I just traded for a 3455SA with auto leve3ling system. I have that all working fine but I can't find switch for rear stabilizing jacks. I always ran my manual one down with drill motor but this must have a switch some where and I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

If you have the LCI leveling system, then I am a bit confused by your question. All six legs are tied to the master control. If you have the manual system with motorized rear stabilizers, the switch is co located with the switch for the front legs.

The middle and rear jacks will operate with the "Rear" button. You do have to make sure that when you begin to level the front end is higher than the rear.

Yes, the six point landing gear is activated with one switch it is down and level. I am talking about scissor legs clear in the back that helps support and stabilize the long overhang beyond the landing gear right behind tires. It is electric and did not come down when leveling system activated.

If you have the jacks on the rear there should be a small plastic door near the motor with a switch in it. look on the side near the motor.

Huh? Am I missing sumpthin'? I thought if a unit was equipped with 6 point level-up, there is nothin' else! Next time I go to the 5er at Tiara, I'd better look under the rear end.

MIMF on some of the older units they have the rear jacks. I have them on mine and if I am set up for a time I put them down and it really makes a different in the rear of the unit. On our unit the jacks are right behind the rear wheel on the new units they have moved them further back making the rear more stable.

bcircus some had the switch on the end of the motor and later they put the switch inside a little door near the jack.

I have the electric rear jacks in the back, but my Level Up was installed on my 2010 camper after market.

bcircus, you don't say what year your unit is?

Since we added our Level-up aftermarket the switch is in a little door in the front. Others have a little door in the rear.

HOLD THE PRESSES.....
I (WE) found it. The switch is located in a small door by front landing gear that has the slide room controls. I looked in there initially but with slides in and standing straight up you can not see the STB marking right up under the switch. I ASSUMED both switches in there were for slides. Sorry for all the trouble confusion. Thank you for all your help[/b][/b]

So It sounds like the level up system was added after the camper was built?

I believe the rear STB's are not included from the factory. There should be a button on your remote control to set the STB's also.
