Stabilizer Jacks

I use a cordless 1/2 inch DeWalt drill motor and a jack socket to operate our stab jacks. As a note I tried a cheapie Harbor Freight drill and operating the jacks flatlined the cheap battery PDQ.

Not a problem and I'm 70. But it depends on your state of health. My thought on electric jacks is there is more to fail and go wrong on the road.

Auto-level or it's no sale for this 70 yr old kid. I didn't get it when buying current rig in 2011 but added it nearly 4 yrs ago. Wasn't cheap but I have no remorse doing it.

I am only 60 y/o but have had several strokes and heart issues. When we purchased our 5th wheel I went with the unit that had auto leveling. It really made a difference for me. I know that the electric stabilizers you are referring to are different but pushing a button is easier than cranking any day. The other advantage is my wife can actually level the 5th wheel by herself.

I think that once you have them your going to appreciate the convenience.
