I have attached the installation manual for the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling 4-Point System # LC358590 below. It is the same instructions for the 6-Point # LC675817 kit. You will determine which kit you will need by measuring from where your front jacks will be located to the rear jacks mounting location. If they are separated by more than 20' you will want to use the 6-Point # LC675817.

The OEM kits that are sent to the trailer manufacturers are designed to be welded on the frames. The kits that we have are aftermarket and can be bolted on.

To wire in the recommended Circuit Breaker - 50 Amp # PK54250PL this will typically be mounted in the storage compartment that houses the battery which may or may not be inside where water will not easily get to the breaker. If it is then there is no real need to waterproof the circuit breaker. If the breaker may be exposed to moisture I recommend coating the terminals with Liquid Electrical Tape # SWC50122. This will protect it from moisture and corrosion better than the rubber caps that you will usually find on these.
