Power Wire Size for Lippert Power Stabilizer Jack # LC298707

Question:

What size wire from the battery? Can you wire front and rear to same power wire? Run wire to front switch then carry on to rear switch Or do you need to run separate wires? Do you have to ground back to battery or just to trailer frame? Thanks

You will want to use a minimum of 10 gauge wire like # 10-1-1 from the battery to the motor on the Lippert High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack # LC298707.

I do not recommend running a front and rear stabilizer to the same power wire. Each wire uses a dedicated 20 amp fuse/breaker so running both wires together would trip the fuse and also make it a lot harder to troubleshoot if something were to happen to one of the jacks down the line.

I do recommend grounding the black wire directly to the negative post on your battery to ensure a good connection. I have attached a wiring diagram that you might also find helpful.
