Class C Leveling Jacks

Has anyone had or installed hydraulic jacks on a 31' Class C Minnie Winnie? We've just purchased a 2004, and it has no jacks installed.

We have HWH levelers on our 1999 Minnie Winnie 31C and use them frequently. Most of the state parks we camp in don't have level sites and we can easily level "Winnie" in 1 - 2 Minutes.

I don't know about the OP but the state parks we love staying in are no where close to flat. I would love to not have to mess around with blocks! Some of our favorite sites take a lot of jockeying around just to get to the point that we can level out with blocks. I kind of doubt that jacks would handle sites so out of level?

Quite evident you never had a set of good working jacks!!:E

To the OP: IMHO HWH jacks are the best. Not the cheapest...just the best. Just like a VISA card...dont leave home without them!

I had fully automatic HWH jacks put on my 2014 Winnebago Access Premier 31WP (31'8" 220 inch wheel base). Wouldn't be with out them. It's the first class C I've had with jacks and they are wonderful!

Do you really need jacks? I haven't had jacks on any of my Class C's and don't remember the last time I even used blocks. Another consideration in your case is weight. Here's a thread from someone with a unit similar to yours.

I have a 33 foot class C with big foot auto levelers. I really like the fact that when I get to a campsite I just press a button and 30 seconds later I'm level. Especially when its raining. Had manual jacks on my toy hauler. I won't ever get an RV without auto levelers again.

Currently laying in the bed of my 32G Minnie without jacks in Quartzsite. I have only
had this c for a year but haven't ever needed them. I mostly dry camp/boondock and seem to almost always be able to get level without even using blocks. I do have the yellow ramps that I will occasionally use on one corner but seldom more than that. We have one of those cheapo bubble levels and will set it in several different places in the mh to get a feel for true level, if we are within a half of a bubble we are happy with that.
I had the same concerns as you when we first got this mh but have found that they were unfounded.
Happy Camping.
