    Rear Jacks

    Just bought a used 2015 Reflection 303 5th wheel. I extended rear jacks down but they wouldn't retract after a few weeks of sitting. I pulled the switch but now it seems like I have no power to the switch using test kit. Am I missing an inline fuse somewhere? My guess is the switch went bad and I blew a fuse while removing wires at switch. Any help?

    Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new (to you) camper.

    A switch failure for the rear jack is quite common as the backside of the switch is unprotected . You should find an in-line fuse for the rear jacks (and the landing gear) just above the battery behind the removable plastic panel.

    Update. Lead wire is hot now. Just trying to see if switch is bad. Thanks Dave.

    If your switch is the same as the one on my 337, and is bad, you can replace it with this one from Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.com/JR-Products-13...ilpage_o00_s00

    Note that the on-line specs say the replacement switch is rated for 16amps at 12VDC while the OEM switch is rated for 30amps. However, the on line specs are wrong and the actual switch is stamped for 30 amps at 12VDC.

    Thanks. I went to a local campersworld and found a close match. Hope it does the trick.

    New switch did the trick. Thanks Jim and Dave. Now I have one of my two grey water tanks not wanting to empty. The handle is a little squirrelly and looks like it already has been replaced. Number two tank drained to E but number 1 stopped at 2/3 full. Thoughts?

    Are you using the tank level monitor to determine whether they're empty because they're not very accurate. With both grey tank valves open, you can establish what fixture empties into which and if what you add drains out immediately, the fault is the level indication. The galley tank probes can get fouled with grease and food waste and not indicate properly. I have had some success before filling the tank with water, some laundry detergent, a little softener and bleach and left it for a day or 2.
