leveling systems for fifth wheelers

We purchased our luxury, full time 2011 model fifth wheel new in 2010 and it did not come with an automatic leveling system. We've got front hydraulic levelers and back electric stabilizers. We've thought of adding an after market leveling system, but haven't done it yet. We may still some day, but for right now it's not that important to us as it's not difficult to level the unit.

Our Carriage is the same way, except when my wife gets out of bed. She does not read this. Don't have to worry. Just kidding. Some movement, but very little even when windy.

Mine doesn't have it, but next one will.

Big Foot is now offering an additional 2 point to add to the 4 point system.

Ours has the 6 point auto-leveling system with the strong arm system. We have yet to put the tightening screws in the strong arm system, the 6 points seem to keep the 5th wheel as stable as we've ever been.

I've had both Big Foot and the six point on my current MS. I like the stability of the six point system but the BF was a very good four point system also. I had first generation BF and never had an issue with it. I had it installed on my first F/W a NuWa Premier and it came standard on my NuWa Champagne. On the first unit it was installed by Quadra in Michigan but sold to me through Mor/Ryde.

The Big Foot levelers each have their own hydraulic reservoir and each jack can raise 17k lbs. No problems raising the RV off the ground for a tire change on stable ground. We do have rear stabilizers but rarely put them down for stays of less than a week.

Its standard on the upper end models and a option on others. We have the Big Foot system on our rig and it works great.

Ditto. Have a Carriage Cameo and love the Big Foot by Quadra. However, many 5ers dont have a frame like the Cameo and need a 6 point system instead of a 4 point.

We have the 4 jack BigFoot. It is awesome and the company (Quadra) provides excellent customer service.

I am wanting to add a leveling system. Would you rather have a 6 point system and if not why. I am comparing cost right now.
We may be retired by Dec so considering a road trip to Quartzite during the event and getting the install done.
