Thanks all. I think in the end, as I am NOT versed in backing it up yet, I will just use a 4ft level (to measure the amount to raise a side by), a 2 ton electric jack (to raise it a bit higher than that amount), then use the leveling blocks I already have under the raised tire. All in, just a bit over 60 bucks. I do like the Level Mate and rounded chock level system, and when I know how to back it up and maneuver it better, I will prolly do that. Hoping to get a lot of practice this coming season. Thanks again all.

Howdy all. New RV'r here and loving it. But having issues with leveling set up. I have the blocks, and they work, but I am NOT adept at backing it up yet, so I was wanting to add an electric jack system. Most of the stuff I read says NOT to use scissor jacks for any weight limit, as they were not designed to hold the RV for say, a 3 day camping trip or any extended time. I also don't mean the stabilizers. There are 4 of those in each corner and they say not to use them as levelers either. I can find TONS of fifth wheel electric leveling systems (2-3 grand Lippert systems), or I can find a lightweight tire leveler here, that might not fit my r15 tires and is of questionable weight limit. I have a small Forest River Salem FSX 179DBK. I just want an electric jack mounted just behind both tires (single axle) that I can raise and lower with a controller and leave it for the weekend or however long. I would only need 2 of them, and they only have to lift around 3000 as the entire trailer is 3,219 UVW. Seems like an easy thing to me, but I just cannot find anything that fit's the bill. Any suggestions?
