Opinions on Lippert 6 pt. leveling system

We have been using our 6-point level up system now full time for well over a year. I would estimate that we have set up at over 30 CG's in that period of time. Never a problem with it.

Another added benefit, that we haven't had to use, would be raising it to change a flat tire.

Lippert's Hydraulic is branded "Level Up". The electric is branded "Ground Control 3.0". For what it's worth, I am very pleased with the way my 4 point plus 2 rear electric stabilizers function on my 32' Wildcat. They go down and come up as expected and desired. The 4 pts are capable of lifting a wheel off the ground if I need to change a flat for instance. Their speed to deploy is fast enough and the coach ends up stable and level. I paid $1495.

Just looked it up on the Sandpiper/Forest River website...it lists the option as a 6 point hydraulic leveling system...that's one heck of a price!!! However, it does not state automatic... But don't think they make one that isn't...

For that price I would want verification that it is the 6 point HYDRAULIC auto leveling system. Seems very cheap to me. Just watched a guy a few days ago trying to get his 6 point electric to work on a new fiver and it was a MESS! He was about to pull his hair out. I am very happy with my true 6 pt hydraulic system but you can bet I didn't get it for $2k.

Make sure you are indeed being quoted a 6 point level system. Lippert sells the OEM mfg three different systems. A true 6 point hydraulic level, a 6 point electric called ground control 3.0 and a 4 point level also called ground control 3.0. Most dealers sell the electric 4 point auto level paied with a couple of electric rear jacks for $1600-$2000 and call it a 6 point. It is not! A true 6 point is a 1 button press for all 6 jacks. The hybrid auto levels 4 jacks then you step to the back of the RV and manually press the two buttons that lower separately the 2 rear stabilizers. It's very easy to put the 2 rears down without changing the level that the auto-level adjusted to. The hybrid is used on sub-40ft. RV's. I have it and it's just fine.

From a non 5th wheel person.....I watched my neighbor level his 5'er with the 6 point system. All I can say is Wow! I was really impressed on how well it operates so if I ever get a 5'er it will have this feature for sure.

Much, much cheaper.

We went ahead and ordered the Sandpiper with the 6 pt. leveling system. Sounds like a great option to have and better to add it now from the factory than later.

Thanks for the replies!

We traded our old Cardinal for a 2015 Cedar Creek Silverback 29RE while in Florida this past winter and it came with the 6 point leveling system. It took me a few tries to get comfortable using it, but now it's great. I think my initial problem was related to the user (me). I pushed buttons before I should have. Now I just let it do it's thing.

If possible be sure to have a full demo from the salesperson so you can witness the process.

Last weekend while camping with friends, while they watched, I unhooked and pushed the auto-leveling button and walked over to talk to them. They were amazed to see the Silverback level itself.
