Adding Ground Control 3.0
I have been thinking of adding the Ground Control 3.0 to my '08 5er and have been asking around but really haven't gotten much response. First of all I know it is a lot of money and for what it costs...

I was going to install mine while at Heartland's national rally in Goshen last summer, but looking at it I decided I hadn't gone to the rally to put in a full day working. Had talked to another Heartlander who had in installed his at a previous rally & he said it took him most of the day to get it done. I wimped out & had Lippert install it for me, and was glad I did. I got to play instead of work, and they welded the brackets onto the frame instead of bolting them on like I would have done. Also, looking through the paperwork before I had them install it, I noticed that it looked like it was supposed to come with a remote & it was missing (along with some bolts & nuts).
After having & using it for a year, I can't say I like it...I LOVE it! After pulling out from under the rig, I'll hit the level button, and start hooking up the sewer. Usually before I get the sewer hooked up, it's level! It also freed up some space in the front basement. The remote is great, when hooking back up, I'll have it in the truck with me, & if I need to tweet the king pin height, I just push a button to get it where I need it. You won't regret having it!
