How much does the system weigh? And what do you do it if fails? Are the jacks hydraulic or electric?
Having just repacked my bearings, it would have beeen nice if I could have used it to lift the trailer's wheels off the ground vs having to jack it up and down repeatedly. Will it do that? I could see the benefit of getting weight off tires during storage too...even if not totally unweighted.
That all said, last site I camped in was pretty irregular. Had to lower the nose a bunch and that put rear way high. Needed bricks under rear jacks. Side to side was off too but not as much. Likely in most places I'd go I'd end up having to do manual stuff even with it like the previous poster.
Bottom line for me, I'll do without but I can see some attractions if it will lift wheels totally off ground.
