Stabilizer Jacks not Included on 26' Winnebago VIA
We're looking at a new Winnebago VIA, 26', and I was wondering if it is normal not to have stabilizer jacks on this size of a motorhome. Maybe you don't need them. They're just not on there.

At one time they did not come due to voiding the frame warranty. Winnebago if that issue was fix.
Can you elaborate on this statement???? Electric and Hyd Jacks have been ADDED to motorhomes for over 35 years and there has NEVER been an issue from Dodge/Chevy/Ford/Oshkosh/Roadmaster/Frtliner/Spartan, any Chassis supplier about voiding any type warranty. The REASON Jacks(stabilizers) are so common(and standard) now is due to the slide rooms. When you have a Motorhome sitting on the lot for sale and the slide rooms are out, the RV looks horrible because it tilts to the heavier side. So, you need Jacks to get the RV level with slide rooms. Since almost ALL motorhomes have slide rooms now, the jacks are basically standard. Doug
Doug,
My statement is what we were told by a Winnebago dealer. He did have it in print and our local Mercedes Benz service dept. did have a Posted statement with the same info. As stated this was several years ago. Any damage to the frame cause by a leveling system void the chassis warranty and any related items.
