Leveling contol panel

[Carr2ne]

Does anyone know if it is possible to move the LCI electric leveling control panel from one side of the 5th wheel to the other side of the 5th wheel. Our panel is in the storage bay on the drivers side and where we park the 5th wheel at our house is really close to the neighbors bushes. This makes it nearly impossible to level the rig after parking it. I want to move it to the passenger side of the 5th wheel, it would be in the same storage bay.

Thanks

I would think the wire loom would be the first determining factor as to how far the panel can be moved. There may be other factors but if the wires aren't long enough............

Yes, you should be able to with no problem. I did the same to mine about 5 years ago. The power cord behind it is about 7' long so the installers could place it on either side.

Thanks, I will pull the panel off and check the wire loom. I guess if its not long enough I could extend the wires right?

Do you know for sure the wire loom was left long for the installer's placement option or was someone too lazy to trim the wires?


I had six feet of heater duct tucked in the garage wall cavity and I'm pretty sure it wasn't left long to give the installers an option for placement of the vent.

Also, you might be able to use some flex conduit and just run the wires against the wall along the floor then run up to the new controller location. I am not sure I would try and do it “pretty” behind the wall in the forward generator area just leave it in the storage area.

I have not had a chance to look at it yet, with all the fires here in Oregon the air quality has been ridiculous for the last week. It seems like we are out of danger where I live but the fires are still burning up towns and land east of us. Once I can be outside for more than a minute or so I will see what I can do. I will make sure that It looks "professional" no matter what I end up doing.
