rear stablizers
Do they work off DC or 110? We forgot to raise ours after the slides were in and winterizing was done. Unplugged the electric cord then noticed the jacks were down. They didn`t work so was wondering if we blew a fuse or what. The battery was still connected.

On my SOB they are 12V DC. Try hooking up to your tow vehicle; also make sure that your battery disconnect switch is on if you have one. Best wishes on a quick resolution.

On My 2007 3400 they are 12volt DC. I have blowen the fuse for mine a couple of times. It is located inside the front stroage on the right side, facing the storage area, just above the battery. It has a cover over it.
On Edit - Sorry I did not read the topic right, I thought it was for the front stabilzers not the rear.

On my SOB there is an inline fuse just behind the switch for the rear stabilizers as well. Front compartment -- I would imagine that the Montana would be very similar given the stabilizers are probably from the same company..

The rear stabilizers on our 2002 3295-RK are manual hand crank jacks. I haven’t seen any that are electric; I’m not saying that they didn’t come that way.
Do the newer models come with power jacks on the back?

They are 12 VDC, but I don't know where the fuse is. So far, I haven't blow one, but I would be interested.

Got to be 12v...how could you use them dry camping if you did not have a generator?

Tom,
Don't be using commons sense here, it could be catching!
greener,
Like Tom implies, check the 12v fuse.

i'm sure it is 12 volt, if you can't get it to work you should have a manual crank to raise them. Try the front jacks to see if they work, if not there is a small 15 amp fuse in the front compartment, it is hard to find, because it is normally in line in a small case above the battery. If you raise the front jacks to high and it puts a strain on the motor and you will blow the fuse, always stop about an inch short. Good Luck:

Bill,
We have the same model trailer and ours are manual type also. Some of the later models do come with electric rear stabilizers. And of course folks can add them on themselves.
We just use an electric drill with an adapter. Works pretty slick.
Greener.....
As has been indicated the stabilizers would be 12 VDC. If they don't work then probably either the fuse (wherever that may be) or a loose ground wire.
Good luck.

My Monty are DC powered and I think most of the electric units are DC since the value of AC electric jacks would be lost while dry camping or pulling in and out of storage, etc.

Our Big Sky came with the electric stablizers. They will wait till spring now since we`ve brought the battery home for the winter and don`t want to carry it into our seasonal site to try putting the stablizers up.

You should be able to run them up by hooking up your pigtail to your tow vehicle (or any vehicle with a 7 pt plug (my wifes old jeep had the right type); that will provide the 12 voilts you need (assuming the 12 volt wire in the plug is active -- wife just reminded me that I had to run a wire from the battery to the plug when we had our small moving trailer... Dang - nothing is ever easy anymore!!! ).
