Adding them would be expensive.
I wouldn't buy one without them.

First, I'm a Long time lurker and learned so much from the experts here on this site. Thanks to all!!!
We have been thinking about moving from a TT to either a used class c or class a in the 29-30 foot range. We went looking around today again to get a feel of which would suit us better used To make a long story short we know that most class c's I've seen don't have leveling jacks but today we ran across a 30ft Class a without leveling jacks. Really nice 2012 Windstar 29X. Appears to be a version of a Thor Hurricane. I've never seen a class a without jacks.
Couple of questions---
1. How common is this?
Not being an expert on ALL class As, I cannot speak as to whether or not it's very common or not, to build a class A, no matter what part of the lineup it's in, to be supplied or not supplied with levelers. (jacks) We've had four RVs. Two class Cs and two class As. Both Cs did not have any. Both As did and do.
2. How big of a deal is it in a class a or c. I know my 24 ft. TT rocks and rolls pretty good at times.
As you can read and see, about 98% of the folks that have them, wouldn't be without them. The ones that haven't had them, well, whether or not one CAN NOT feel any difference as far as stabilization is concerned, is a matter of opinion. ALL coaches are somewhat unstable if the there's no jacks stabilizing them. Some worse, some not so bad. But, put the jacks down and, it's a whole 'nother story. Not to mention, leveling is a whole lot easier.
3. Any ideas about retrofit?
My son used to work in an RV service center in San Diego. He installed quite a few leveling/Jack systems in coaches that did not come with them. The price tag ranged anywhere from about $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the kind of system and, just what kind of labor was involved. So, this is a matter of:
A. How much you value your RV
B. How long you plan on keeping it
C. Based on experience, how hard you work, on the average
to get your coach level and, stabilized with whatever form you
presently have or are using, WITHOUT the use of jacks.
4. Any comments, experience on a Class A Windstar 29X?
Nope. Other than, you mentioned it was a "version" or, possibly related to a Thor product. With that, I've seen many, many RV threads and posts about Thors not being a very good RV and having a pretty fair amount of problems. Never actually had one ourself so, I cannot speak with authority, just rumors.

Your words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
