Upgrading to automatic leveling system

I just purchased a 2000 Pace Arrow V33 with a manual leveling system. The sytem is obsolete accourding to Power Gear and has since been replaced with a newer controller pad.

Has anyone upgraded a manual system to automatic?
  • Does the system work now? If so, the automatic option is not that big of a deal. Why spend the money? We've had both, and it doesn't take long to level the coach with a manual system. I used to set a level on the floor and just watch it. Now there are good apps for any smartphones that make it really easy.
  • I agree. If the manual system is working, why upgrade? The manual system also leaves you with a little bit of flexibility on some sites that are not perfect.
  • krivanj ... I didn't think about an app for my smart phone. Excellent idea.
  • We have an automatic power gear system. I used it on automatic EXACTLY ONCE. I can always level the coach better, faster, and lower than the auto mode can.

    Unless it's broken, leave it be.
  • sew0177,
    Look for the app Clinometer HD for both Apple or Android. I have it on my ipad and phone and it is great, and free.
