Blowing Fuse on 5th Wheel Landing Gear

[dd5087]

I have a 2008 Forest River Sandpiper 5er and I am intermittently blowing the 20amp fuse for the landing gear motor. It happens after operating the motor for a few minutes, but not all the time. Does each landing gear have it's own motor? Do these need to be lubricated? Where are they located and is there a manual crank to operate these if you don't have power? Any and all assistance would be appreciated?

Update to this issue. AFter talking with the manufacturer of the motor and technical support at Forest River, I discovered that there was an undersized fuse in the circuit. It was a 20 amp and should have been a 30 amp. The gentleman at Forest River said he had heard of the same problem before. For anyone interested, the fuse is located inside the battery compartment. It is in a fuse holder that comes of the electrical bus mounted on the inside wall.

Yep...mine is a 30 amp. And I keep a few in the spares kit.
