Difference in levelers

I have noticed that larger DP models have hydraulic levelers, less large (39 & below) have electronic levelers. Is there anything to be aware of with electronic?

    Do you know what year they made the improvement?
  • Gatorcq, I've never seen an Alpha See Ya that wasn't mostly white. Very nice looking! Did you have it painted or is it factory?

    Safe travels,

    PS. Sorry for the off track note.

  • I believe the pad dimensions are more important, small footprints will dig into parking surfaces. I am noticing more RV parks with asphalt surfaces, requiring block under the levelers.
