Anyone added self-leveling jacks?
We are about to purchase our first Class C, and the unit we are going to get doesn't have auto-level jacks. Has anyone added them and if so, how much did it cost? I can't find a dealer that will install them.

- We added a HWH system to our 2014 Winnebago Via. It was about $4000 installed. Best mod we ever made. I recommend having the HWH factory install them.
- daughter had HWH installed on her Nexus by HWH in Indiana for just under $4K. Half day install. I'm not a big fan of any dealer work.
- I'd like to do the same on my new 5th Wheel but for me, I think it's way too expensive.
- I installed the Big Foot system on my RV.
If I had to do it over again, I would go with the single pump version. Way simpler to install. - I added HWH automatic levelers on my bounder. ordered them on my chieftain. what ever the cost, well worth it. chieftain ones were not auto level but no big deal. just move the lever till light goes out.
bumpy - If the manual levelers are less expensive than the full auto, I’d go with the manual. Manual is still finger touch control, just not automatic.
- HWH installed by original owner. I would not be without them. Fun is expensive sometimes. Funny how a extended warranty with the "piece of mind' feature that costs 4K and is seldom used isn't an issue for some but installing levelers that make life so much easier are "too expensive"
Mine are manually operated, push lever, mounted on floor next to drivers seat, until yellow light turns to red. Done. OR go outside with plastic toylike things and spend your evening backing up and pulling forward . If you travel solo you have no one to yell at out the side door
"how does it look" LOL.
I have used my lifts to get me out of a sinkhole, raise the coach to change a tire, with a huge block of wood under the axle. excellent. - I've been using scrap blocks of treated 2x6 & 4x6 lumber for more than 30 years. I looked at power levers once many ears ago, and decided that they added a lot of weight and were rather expensive.
I just glue a cat's eye/round level to the dog house where I can see it from the drivers seat. With a little practice one gets to know how many blocks to put under which wheel. klutchdust wrote:

it also is disconcerting to have to scream out at the wife when she is out in the rain and mud adjusting the legos, "NO YOUR OTHER LEFT"
