I agree with the above. You can't level your TT at the corners.
The only way to put a power system on is if the TT had hydraulic or air springs. Then you could pump them up to level the TT at the wheels.
Most RV leveling systems do not level "at the corners". Glancing at the install manual for one, the rear jack is to be placed as close to the rear wheels as possible (and no more than 18 inches) behind. It goes on to say this is so the load is a close to the wheels supports as possible.
I do think it is TT dependent whether the frame can handle a levveling system. As an example, my TT Toy Hauler has a 10 inch I-Beam construct frame. In addition, for several feet, near the front of the trailer, it is an 8" I-Beam stacked on a the 10" i beam....The frame is much beefier than my previous 5th wheel with self leveling...it was only 6" I-beam.
While I am not at all sure I will put any leveling system on it, I am confident, with adequately positioned jacks, the frame on my TT TH can handle it..
OK, I just assumed that it was just a power system on the stabilizer jacks. That's what I get for assuming. My mistake.
