Urgent request - Jacks won't lower

[wa8yxm]

To the OP, I'm glad you found the problem and it's going to be fixed.. If CW does not have the part, but can give you the specs. I might be able to direct you to a supplier who may well have it in stock.. There are only two kinds of relays used on Motor homes.. one kind you find at Auto parts or RV stores (These are teh assorted solenoids) the other at Electronics parts places.

(On in a very few cases electrical supply houses).

I would also be concerned as to why the wires fried, even with a bad solenoid a fuse should have blown first...no?

Good point. The fuse did not blow but its entire harness was melted.

I'm curious if things have improved...what's been your experience so far for getting on the internet there?

The problem still exists for wifi. You have to check out some sort of box to hook up at your site. I didn't feel like messing with it so I just access through AT&T iPhone.

There is now another twist at Ft Wilderness. Disney recently switched to Direct TV for all of their resorts. It was seamless for their hotels but for the campground it switched everything to a digital signal that cannot be seen on analog TV's (which many rv'ers still have). So, it order to watch TV you have to check out a special converter to hook up in you Motorhome. This is not the typical converter for over the air signals. Anyway, I just pushes me to upgrade the TV's which I had on my to do list.
