Ratchet wrench for 400 spare tire

NoVaGuy

While going through all of the papers, goodies and what not that came with the T@B 400, I found a 3/4" ratchet wrench.  The camper came with two speed handles to raise/lift the Ball Jacks, what is this wrench for?

Is it to lower and raise the spare tire?

NoVaGuy

Could be.  Using the speed handle for that is a real pain.

How about a picture of these "speed handles"?

NoVaGuy

Camper is not near me at the moment.  It is a long handled device with a 19 mm socket on the end.

A speed handle looks something like this:

Oh, it’s a jack crank😊. To lift the stabilizers.  Why two?

The ratcheting wrench is to raise and lower the spare tire. A warning sticker on the side of the tongue warns you NOT to use a cordless (or corded) drill to raise lower the spare.

Thanks Verna.  It seemed odd that they gave me two jack cranks and one ratchet.

That so your significant other can give you a hand!

@Tampakayaker it never dawned on me to ask my wife to help set up the camper.  LOL
