Bigfoot Hydraulic Jacks on 32' Winnebago "C"

Installed Bigfoot's Platinum jack system on the Winnebago. Install went pretty easy, directions were clear, and the quality of the set-up looks pretty good. I have about 12 hours into the install from welding brackets to finished wiring, not bad I thought especially for a guy 7 weeks out of rotator cuff surgery :C . I installed the control panel in the cabinet near the entry door as I didn't feel the need to reach it from the drivers seat and couldn't find a good place in the cab anyway.

    Congratulations.....I hope it serves you well!

    We have the Bigfoot System on our 5th wheel, a really great system. We have the HWH system on our class c.....it “sucks eggs”!!!! One day, the class c may get an upgrade!

    Nice job! I installed the older Bigfoot E-Z Leveler system on our previous coach, and our current coach came equipped with a Bigfoot auto level system. Both systems have served us quite well.

    Need to get some weather pack connectors for the jacks. You won't have to worry about your quick connects corroding or coming loose. I bought a full kit along with extra shells and pins and use them for everything DC.

    Not a bad idea. I have a weatherpack kit around here somewhere.

    Where did you buy your system from? Was it Quadra Manufacturing in Sturgis Michigan or a Bigfoot dealer in Florida?

    The connections for our all-up switches are still doing fine after 17 years with just the quick connects. I do suggest checking them once in awhile though, since there would be no indication if one opened up.
