Attaching Lippert Ground Control Middle Jacks to 2017 Laredo 342RD
Updated 07/21/2022 | Published 07/20/2022
Question:
I currently have the 4 pt lippert system on my 38foot 5th wheel. Dont ask me why as I scratch my head as well. In fact, my coach has the plates welded in the place where you would install them. However, Lippert advised me of the parts to purchase to add the 2 middle jacks and make it a 6pt system. On my driver side, the plate where I would secure the jack sits underneath my kitchen slide out. There is a plastic curved shaped part that moves in and out with the slide out. It holds the electrical lines and propane line to the various components on the slide out. The part is very flexible. However, when the slide out is brought in, it butts up against the welded plate where the jack would be secured to. In addition, the manufacturer 17 Laredo 342RD, zipped tied the electrical lines to the plate. Ive included several pictures. My questions: 1. Would it be ok if the plastic part just butts up to the installed jack? It would flex accordingly to the jack. If not, what would be your recommendation? 2. Where would you recommend I move the electrical lines zipped tied to the welded plate?

Thanks for the pictures of your setup as that makes it easier to understand what is going on. So all of those wiring harnesses and wire looms can be moved as long as there's enough slack in them to get them out of the way so that you could install the center jacks of a Lippert Ground Control 3.0 part # LC675817. The bracket that the lines are currently ran to could be moved as well. You'd basically need to move all of those components out of the way, test fit the jacks, and then see where would make the most sense to have the lines and looms routed and wired.
It seems like when they put your RV together they didn't realize that bracket was designed for something and decided it was going to be used for attaching harnesses and lines.
