Ok I had a class A it had auto leveling, how much of a pain is it with just electric leveling on a FW? I like the one touch I had a pop up that was a pain in the *** but that was all hand cranking. Thanks for the help

Yes, the LevelUp system on our MS does.

Do the auto level systems "remember" where to put the trailer back to for hooking up?

Setup takes a lot less time with the leveling system. Unless the site is very unlevel and the jacks run out of stroke, just press AutoLevel and let it do its thing (hint: be sure the truck is not under the front overhang when you start the AutoLevel function!!) On a couple of very unlevel campsites, I've had to add up to 4 Lynx levelers under the jack feet on the downhill side to get enough stroke, but these sites were so bad that the wheels on the downhill side wound up 6" off the ground!!

All in all, the leveling system is one of the features I most enjoy on the new 5th wheel.

I have the BigFoot hydraulic leveling system on mine and wouldn't purchase another fiver without one. I just hated dealing with wood and plastic blocks for leveling.

It was a bit more work with my prior manual systems, but never a "pain". However, the current 6 point is very easy. Seems to attract people too. More conversations.

You are going to miss the auto leveling. But doing it with a level and electric jacks is fairly easy.

A lot of FWs are now coming with 4 or 6 point leveling systems, just like your MH. Beyond that, with a good level, it's not hard, especially in a campground, with a hard pad. A bit more troublesome when boondocking as blocks and boards can slide if you're on forest trash. Just something that takes a few minutes. I usually do it by myself with my watchers looking for clearances, branches and the like.
