Can auto level be installed on an older unit?

My DH really wants the auto-leveling system. This really limits our choices on used units. Can they be installed on an older unit?
  • I have installed the electric on our fiver we no longer have myself and if your somewhat handy they are real easy to do and took me 6 hours. Price was 2200.00 for complete kit at the time.

    Why is that?
  • Lippert was installing them on 5er at Quartzite a couple of years ago, price was $4,500.
  • I have had it both ways auto and manual. I would never spend the $$$ to upgrade.
  • A guy I know had them installed on his motorhome....took about 3 days and 5,000.00.
  • They can typically be installed on any type of rig. The Lippert system will run on the plus side of $2500 though.

    From what I've read here, in many cases, yes. NOT cheap and not always doable. Call the leveler mfrs and give them the =exact= model year and model of the FW you're looking at, and they probably can tell you if they have a kit to fit.
