We have a new 3 month old 2013 CT29RLX with what I understand is a new tongue jack for the Cruisers.
I have blown the fuse each time I have retracted it after attaching it to our truck. Has anyone ran into this issue yet? It appears to not have a limit switch on it to prevent it from running all the way up and then blowing the fuse each time.
I know I can paint a mark on the jack post but it seems to me that they should have included a limit switch when they engineered the jack so that it would never fully retract and stop the motor.
There are a lot of "should have" and "could have's" on these rigs. Cruisers IMO are mid-level units and a lot of what you are mentioning are related to Money. The 5er's landing legs are a similar issue and most people paint/mark the legs so they don't go all the way up. It's an easy remedy that works.
Thanks for the information. I expected that marking the jack post along with keeping a 10 pack of spare fuses in my truck was about the only solution that was going to be viable.
Mike, you just bump the slide out a little to take pressure off of the motor and gears? What about when it is in the out position?
Just a bump on the switch with mine. It was getting stuck before from going down the road. I think it was to tight and the flex of the camper made it even tighter.
Taking the slide out;I take it all the way out no bump. However, I release the switch as soon as the slide raises upward (I know it is close to the end).
This works well for us. I am sure every unit is adjusted differently.
