Lippert Aftermarket Leveling System Installation

Hi Folks,
I am hoping that there is someone on RVNEt that's had Lippert install a leveling system (aftermarket) at their operation in Goshen. Would like some feedback if there is. Thanks in advance.

    The Lippert system is called LevelUp. It is a 6-point hydraulic system. Visalia RV and RV Express, both in Visalia, are both Lippert dealers that can do the install for you....whay go all the back to the Lippert factory in Elkhart? There are more Lippert dealers in Bakersfield and Fresno if you donlt like the guys in town, use the locator on the Lippert site.

    Honestly I would love to get one of these installed and be done with the stupid screw jacks, but last time I looked a few years ago they were a few grand without installation....

    There location is susceptible to road dirt. When dealing with digital electronics it pays to use quality command modules and quality motors because you have 4 of them.
    I am fairly certain that this is a hydraulic system.. Only one motor for the entire system. and the ones I have read about are 6 jack systems. A four jack system would be bad news for just about any TT frame.


    And it could be bad news no matter 4 or 6 jack if the trailer was not designed to accommodate it. Its not as easy as just taking off stabilizer jacks and adding leveling jacks. If they tell you not to "jack up/level" a trailer with the stabilizer jacks adding automatically operated jacks that raise the entire rig off the ground may not be the best idea?

    One would think a company like Lippert who makes frames and the jacks, has the engineering who could tell you what would work and add additional reinforcement if required. Then again seeing that they produce standard tank support pieces that have been known to deflect and allow tanks to drop right out of a trailer, I'm not so sure LOL.

    Isn't there anybody else that makes a system like that?
    I only ask because Lippert is so synonymous with poor quality rv parts.
