- EsoxLuciusExplorerWith the limited weight capacity of the Sprinter 3500 RV most people don't add 400+ lbs. in a leveling system. Four Andersen Levelers cost $160, work very well, and weigh about 380 lbs. less.

- Desert_CaptainExplorer IIIIMHO: A Class C 25' or less simply does not need auto levelers. Spend $30 and buy a set of yellow Leggo blocks and a couple of bubble levels to place at the rear corner of your coach. I have yet to ever need to use more than two per wheel. Mosts CG sites require no leveling whatsoever. Give it a try and you might find that you were searching for a solution for which there was no known problem {The government does this a lot}. :B
If you change your mind and just "Have" to have levelers installed you will still be using the Leggo's under your new $4,000 levelers but can kiss several hundred pounds of payload (along with your money), good bye.
Most auto leveling systems besides being heavy and expensive are about as problematic as slides... sooner or later they will give you trouble.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
:C - Old_CrowsExplorerNot needed. Significantly reduces your payload capacity. A torpedo level & two "Lego" / Lynx block sets from Wally World will set you back $60; weigh nothing; take up little space. 98% of the time you need only about 1/2 of a set. The extra set is used about 1% of the time ...
- Gonzo42ExplorerThe lego blocks work spectacularly well for us.
- jimbo98ExplorerWe have a 2008 itasca navion sprinter 3500. I have been using a couple bags of lynx levelers and my highly calibrated eyeball for leveling. Its been working fine for us for 2 years now. Id rather use my cargo capacity for more cold beverages. Good luck.:)
- RckyMtnViaExplorerAnother vote for the yellow lego blocks. We have only had to use them a few times and it took about 5 minutes to get them out and level the rv. There is some side to side motion in the rv without levelers, but we used to get some in our diesel pusher with levelers. We also have a bubble leveler on a small shelf/cup holder behind the drivers seat so that I can see how level we are before I shut down the engine.
- magrredExplorerHWH levelers. Absolulty the best option that we have ever installed on our MB 3500 Winn. View 24G. Got tired playing with tinker-toys for leveling. Expensive, yes. Worth it, absolulty. Took a week off, went to HWH in Iowa and had levelers installed at the factory in a little over 4 hours. Have had no problems.
- Jim_ShoeExplorerI, too have the HWH kick-down type levelers. They paid for themselves the first time I pulled into an RV park when it was pouring rain. I also added a TPMS system after I drove some part of my last 300 mile leg home with a giant nail but no air in an inside rear dually. And I carry a mounted spare in the rear storage compartment. Plenty of room once I removed all the tools that I don't know how to use anyway. The ones I do know how to use fit in a small tool box along with my GS Roadside Assistance card.
- magrredExplorerForgot to mention that HWH makes levelers that are engineered specifically for the MB 3500. No welding and no drilling.
