Power Source for Leveling System?

I just finished repairing my HWH leveling system that hasn't worked since I bought the Big Rolling Turd:D. I had to put on a new tank and fix some bad wiring. The 12V for the pump led up to the engine compartment, but was disconnected when I bought it. I felt that since it was a power hog and needed fast amps when run, that hooking to the engine battery was the place to be, did I guess right? The 12V cable was long enough that it could have been hooked anywhere.

Mine is connected to the engine battery and my manual says to have the engine running when the jacks are being extended or retracted.

Some coaches have a lockout that keeps the jacks from being operated when the engine is running to prevent moving the coach by accident.

Mine has a loud alarm and I guess Winnebago thinks that is enough.

Hi, Scott
Mine is the same as Clay L's, keep the motor running while deploying the jacks & Retracting them.
Also after the jacks have been up and I'm driving down the road the warning Buzzer will start to sound.
I hit the "Retract", I was told the the oil in the line starts to get warm and expands and I get the alarm
Take care
