Leveling Kit
New to RVing. Anyone add a leveling kit to a class c motor home? Any recommendations?

I didn't pay attention to your avatar. The first Class C we had exposed another problem with Jacks on a Class C.
The front jacks mount fairly far back in the cab area.
The rear frame is narrow and the jacks mount just behind the rear axle.
On a long Class C, this means that raising one side tends to raise the other side. Say it's low on the left side by 2" - It may not go level till the left is raised 4" because the right gets lifted 2" by the left jacks.
On a short C, like our first one at 24' - Raising the Rear results in raising the Front. We could be on an "irregular" site and find that by the time we were level, a front wheel was nearly off the ground. Sometimes it actually WAS lifted that high.
So, just from my experience, I wouldn't go out of my way to choose a used Class C with jacks over one without, and probably would not consider them on a short one.
