I understand that jacks are powered by the on-board battery bank, not by the truck, and not even if the 5w is plugged into a 50-amp power source. If the on-board batteries have insufficient charge, they won't operate the jacks. The 7-way connection will provide a limited amount of power to the...

We will pull our 5th wheel trailer from Madison WI to Elkhart In soon. We've been warned not to travel through Chicago if at all possible. We'd be grateful for any suggestions from those familiar with such alternate route(s).

If there are no RV dealerships nearby, eTrailer.com is another resource.

If anyone knows of such a tool that's detailed, reliable, and up-to-date, please post here. I would certainly buy a subscription. I use a Garmin 770 supplemented by Google Maps or Wayze information provided by my DW co-pilot.
