lite weight/low cost leveling jacks?

Hi all,

Looking for a low cost leveling jack system for my 2006 Tioga 24D on a GMC chassis. I'm looking for a manually crank type of system that I can attach to the frame and will level my unit instead of blocking my tires to level the unit. Any known full manual systems that can level a 5 ton rig?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

    True, but it seems that a leveling system using manually pumped bottle jacks would be inexpensive and popular for smaller RVs. Harbor Freight sells 20 ton bottle jacks for $40. 4 of those, modified for quick extension and frame mountable, and you have a leveling system for under $500. I'd buy one 'cuz I'm too unskilled to make one and too cheap to pay $3000 for an automatic version.
