wishful thinking?

I just bought a 08 Mobile Suites which has hydraulic leveling. I was really surprised to find out that it only levels front to back, not side to side. I thought I was beyond the driving up on boards like I've done for eight years on my old Travel Supreme. Don't get me wrong, its a major step forward but my question is, is there a mod to change that? I know that's a wishful thinking question that I think I know the answer to before even posting this. To change it I'm sure would be major. I'm also assuming that the new ones level both ways which I'm sure they do. I couldn't pass up this 08, stored indoors most of its life, used very little. Thanks in advance!

    On our 2014 Mobile Suites I generally use 2 Lynx levelers under each front jack foot and 1 Lynx leveler under each of the 4 rear jacks, both to broaden the footprint and to reduce the amount that the jack rams must extend, which improves stability. I have no complaints about our automatic leveling system at all.

    I had a 07.5 Mobile Suites that had the 4 point system. Honestly I would NOT spend any money to do the upgrade. I have the system on current 16 MS and it works fine but I have to say the upper area on the 07.5 was more stable than this one. The front rams are not solid they allow side to side movement. The lower level is solid since there are 4 rams similar to the two we had before. I could have the old RV set up as fast with the 4 point as this one with 6.

    I believe MS started adding the automatic levelling option in 2010 or 2011. I'm not sure how easily yours could be upgraded to this.

    Newer units do level in all directions, even those costing thousands less than a Mobile Suites. Don't know when MS added the newer feature. There are after market auto leveling kits, but I don't know that you can upgrade what you have without replacing it.
