Sounds like there are plenty of auto level systems that are not smooth. Our, HWH, is quite smooth. There certainly is motion as the system adjusts, but nothing jerky. First rule is no one moves around in the coach while it is doing its dance, that just annoys the genie in the box. never even start the process if the back is way low. We drive up onto blocks to approximate level and then provide blocks for the jacks. Generally okay for a day or two, but would love to find a more level site given the option. For front wheels I don't worry too much for a night or two, but use blocks or move on if I intend to be longer. When hitting retract all I am grateful to feel all four jacks valves open and let the coach down quickly, just be sure no one is under there when you do that, it won't be pretty.
