Bigfoot stabilizer hidden fuse

This may have been discussed already but today's project is to add a manual switch to the Bigfoot stabilizers to stop them from remotely activating in crowded parks. I traced the wires under our slide out rear bed on our 24R and found this hidden fuse. It is on the red wire to the manual controls. Probably the wire I want to add a switch. Add this to your mental list of hidden fuses in these coaches. Happy travels

I put a free hanging rocker switch (on very short wires) right next to the manual controls in the rear storage compartment. Seemed like the handiest spot, though I have been known to leave it on when it really should be off!

I may put in 2 switches in a 3 way set up. The back of the manual control is visible in that space. It will be easy to add a a switch next to it and a senond switch at the foot of the bed inside in case I forget to turn the jacks off and they activate at night. Then I won't need to go out in my pjs to flip the switch.

As I recall, my Bigfoot stabilizers would turn on and make noise from time to time. I disconnected the remote control antenna wire and that seemed to fix it. I never use the remote.
