    Power Stabilizer Jacks

    Upon arrival at our last campground, we found the wire to our rear power stabilizer jacks snagged on something and broke away. Until we can get the wire reconnected, how can we deploy and retract the stabilizers? Your combined vast knowledge is appreciated. 2019 Salem Cruise Lite 171RBXL

    12v 6.67amp CPAP - want to create battery system to power it
