Now that our 5th wheel has been totaled the wife and I are out shopping for a new rig. We are planning on taking a step back and getting a nice TT which fits our needs. We've found on we like, however it does not have Power Stabilizers. I'd like to see about having them added. Is that even a reasonable request, doable? To be clear, I'm willing to pay for the upgrade, but without having to order a new model, is it something that can be reasonably added onto?

I'll just keep my manual jacks.

a good cordless drill and a socket adapter with the correct size socket will make quick work of a manual jack Socket Adapter

My '17 Laredo has the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 auto levelers. Is this what you are talking about or is it just electric stabilizers you want? I had the electric stabilizers on a StarCraft unit I had before and while they were OK they were no different in taking the wiggle out of the trailer than the manual ones were really.The new Laredo with the auto leveling system is rock solid when deployed. I like it although it can be a bit temperamental at times I have always managed to get level. There is a difference between the 2 so be sure the dealer understands exactly what you are talking about.

My current TT has electric stabilizers and I prefer the manual ones because they are quicker to deploy with a cordless drill. The electric ones that I have seem to take forever while standing in an awkward semi-stooped position to hold the switch.
