I have a 29rks cougar 5th wheel . Is there a drivers side motor for the electrical front jacks so I would have some leveling control ?

Hi Dennis; it sounds like you want to add a 2nd motor to your current landing gear so you can operate the legs independently for leveling. I'm sure you have standard landing gear that is tied together so adding an additional motor won't give you that ability. You would have to match and replace the leg, remove the shaft running between the legs, and add a separate gearbox and switch along with the motor to make this happen.
A better solution is to replace your current landing gear with the Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set # UF17-943010. Each leg has a switch, motor, and operates independently of the other so you will be able to level your 5th wheel on uneven ground. It has a 12,000 lb combined capacity and comes with a 6-year warranty.
