Electric automatic jacks
Is there a certain length 5th wheel that would require 4 or 6 feet jack system? My current 5th wheel is 37 feet. Which would I need? Are these jack systems worth the money? Thanks for any replies.

A nice advantage of a 6pt is when your backed up to a sloping away site, the 6pt easily handled the leveling. You would need a ton of blocking to reach a 4pt.
I learned this the hard way, first time we took ours out I dropped the front legs using the pins as far as they would go as I normally did with the standard system ,well the rear jacks contacted the ground alright and lifted it somewhat but the unit kept calling an error and it wouldn't level up. It took till the next day for me to realize that I was only supposed to lower the front jack pins the first four or five holes. Funny thing was the ground didn't look that far out of level. When I did get it levelled the tires on right hand side were actually off the ground although just barely enough for them to rotate. I wasn't using blocks at all thinking that the large feet didn't need it , but now I use them all the time.
