Default Leveling Jacks

I have electric jacks on my Super Nova but can't find any info in the manuals I received from the dealer. I want to know the manufacturer and model if possible and how to manually raise a jack if one fails, it is not obvious from looking at the jack. The parts list from Gulf Stream indicates the Vendor is Laventure, but can't find anything on the web. I figure there are two main items I need to know for emergencies, how to manually roll in a side out and how to raise a jack, both of which are show stoppers on the road. Appreciate any info.

They are Power Gear Electric jacks. I got my manual from doing a search on Power Gear and downloading the manual. Be sure to get the electric jack manual, not hydraulic.

Galena, Texas TC,
I printed out my manual from Power Gear'w website. Thanks for that information!!!

I have one more question. Do you extend the slide outs first and then level the coach or vice versa. Also let me know the correct procedure for breaking her down, slides first then leveling jacks?

Thank You for all your assistance.

-Ron

IMO, you do the levelers first, then put the slide out. If the unit is twisted or not level, then you place an extra burden on the slide mechanism and might even damage it in extreme cases.

As for teardown, bringing up the leveling jacks is the very last thing I do before driving away.

mfa,
Thanks for the help. That is exactly how I do it, but others do it differently. I just thought I should get the owners of our vehicles opinions.
