The electric motor that operates the rear stabilizer jack on our travel trailer stopped working. I put off trying to repair it for a couple months because I’m just not that familiar with the inner workings of an electric motor. I was able to use the jack attachment with my drill to raise and lower the stabilizer jacks but I really wanted to repair the original motor. I finally worked up the nerve to give it a shot and it turned out to be a very minor repair. I’m sure I didn’t repair it like a professional would have, especially when I cut a part in half in order to remove it, but the repairs worked and it was extremely inexpensive.
