How to level a Class C?
I just sold my 36 foot class A which had leveling jacks. I am looking at getting a class C, but only one or two have had leveling jacks and those looked like add-on units with a big box next to the d...

X2 - We carry a couple of packs but seldom need to use them. As long as the site is within 2-3 inches of level both side to side and front to back the refrigerator and us are both happy.
Absolutely!
Auto levelers dramatically reduce your available payload and most Class C's - especially the larger models, are painfully short of payload to begin with. Leveler reliability is hit or miss and leveler failures can be a disaster. Also note how many folks with levelers are also using the yellow Leggo blocks... what's up with that? :h
IMHO: The ability to merely push a couple of buttons and "Presto" your coach is level sounds appealing but folks... leveling with a $30 set of blocks takes no more time and works just as well. Save your money and payload initially and if after a couple of trips you still think you just can not live without them by all means go for it... but go with your eyes wide open to the realities of the cost and weights involved.
As always... Opinions and YMMV.

Huh ?? "dramatically reduce your available payload" ? I just installed Bigfoot levelers on my C, the whole kit was maybe 150lbs. Heck I used to carry 40-50lbs of 2x10's to level it. The leveling actually wasn't the main reason I got them, as others have said the stability difference is huge. Now when my 17Y/O rolls over in the upper bunk I don't feel like I'm in a waterbed in the rear of the MH. To each his own I guess, but we are very happy with the hydraulic jacks. Oh, and we didn't go with the auto level (platinum system), so not in it for bells and whistles here.
