You will also need an assortment of 8 and 10 gauge wire connectors to include Ring, Spade, and Splice connectors. the amount of wire depends on YOUR measurements. Any questions feel free to ask in the comment section I will reply as soon as possible. Thank You.
Wow, you gave done an excellent job with this two part video. Thank you very much!
Thanks we are so glad you enjoyed it!!!!
Hopefully someone is still watching this video that may help me. The second pin that lays horizontal on the bottoom gear, you omitted that part from the video the next day. I've applied penetrating oil etc. to loosen the pin but it is tightly affixed. I'm down to cutting the pin on both sides and boring out the remainder from it's hole. I wasn't sure if applying heat might do it but don't want to compromise anything. Any ideas folks? I thank Kentucky couple in providing these vids.

On the pins on the truck camper we had I just used the 5/32 punch that came with the kit and they drove out.... That said that's why I had to use the vice grips to hold the punch because 2 of those had to be "persuaded" and talked dirty to....
Heat won't work there are plastic seals that you will melt underneath the gear...
Thank you very much for responding, I will continue to source solution. I was thinking of grinding off one end of the pin punching it through. Short of that maybe cut pin on both sides of shaft and drilling through the hole to clear pin. Happy Sunday to you all, god bless.
Hey pal..... thanks for doing and posting this it was much better than the incorrect paper instructions the company sent me, wanted me to cut and grind out the mechanical rod but just this 2 pins and it came out .... thanks again
Glad this video helped you.... Thanks for watching and stay tuned, I'm always doing different kinds of maintenance to the camper and boat....
Wow! We need these on Poppas camper!!!
They are pretty nice and make things more simple!!
Awesome video! I want to convert my jacks but nobody has any parts in stock. I thought I needed 4 new jacks. I even talked to Reico Titan and they told me I need to remove my manual jacks. I guess I’ll keep searching for these kits.
They are a popular item looks like... Seen your other comment glad you found some....
Very informative, good content! 😎
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video! Actually a simple process if you don't include the work it takes to get those pins out!😂
Yes those pins can be a pain!!!!! Thanks for Watching!!!!
did you make your extention bracket off the jacks? I have a wide flatbed that I need to do something similar, but don't have the budget for the $900 swing out bracket that reico sells
No they came with the camper but probably a quarter inch piece of steel with holes drilled in it according to the jack and where the Jack mounts to on the camper would work that's all mine are..... Thanks for Watching!
What size ring did the 8 and 10 gauge wires require? 1/4 or 5/16?
I do believe they were 1/4 inch... From what I remember...
What would it cost to have an RV shop install that set up?
I have no idea but as high as the kit is I would assume in the $800-$1500 range depending on if your camper was prewired for electric jacks or not... Mine was not.. Good question though thanks for asking!!!
Who did you buy your kit from?
Panther RV here's the link.... pantherrvproducts.com/rieco-titan-56301-electric-conversion-kit-white/ Plus the links for the rest of the install items are posted in the video description.... Thanks For Watching!!!!!
How did you run the wiring
Just by drilling a few holes and using existing cavities... Also secure to other wiring in my camper... as far as the installation there is a part 2 on our channel about that..... Thanks!!!!
