My 30-year-old Winnebago Warrior had jacks installed by the previous (first) owner. I'm so glad he did.
The best benefit of the jacks is not so much the leveling, but stability. Even on level ground, the RV is still floating on its suspension. So every time someone gets up in the night to go pee, or they flop over in bed, the entire RV bounces around.
With jacks, the house is rock-solid like...a house!
That was definitely my fear. In my old travel trailer, the motion was terrible. I went so far as to buy x-chocks in addition to using the drop stabilizers to steady the motion.
However, in the motorhome (an E450 chassis) it just has not been an issue. I can definitely tell someone is moving around, but it's nothing like the wobbling of the old travel trailer. The suspension and tires on these things are quite stiff.
Anyway, I certainly agree leveling jacks are awesome, and I wish I had them. But I'm also a-ok without.
