Big Greg Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 This is from the Quadra website, each hydraulic cylinder is capable of lifting 17,000 pounds. "Equipped with the biggest baddest jacks around, choose from four or six of our quality hydraulic cylinders capable of lifting up to 17,000 lbs each, Run the system with the wireless key fob & LED control panel, this system offers "auto-reconnect mode" which memorizes the exact position the trailer was in when unloading from the truck with the press of a button. Also features fully-automatic leveling & manual control.This system also qualifies for the Lifetime Warranty on Cylinders."

Gypsy Traveler Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I saw an all Electric level up 6 jacks, on the New Jayco Pinnacles at the Tampa RV show. No Hyd on any of the Jaycos according to rep?? Syst was by Lippert. Had manual adjustable pinned legs on each jack. The first Pinnacle we looked at had the electric jacks, it was a 2014. The Pinnacle we bought is a 2012 with nothing. My husband called the Bigfoot dealer in town and told them the trailer we're buying and what system the dealer has and wants to install (electric and starts with an 'A'. The Bigfoot guy said the electric system would be just fine for our trailer set up. Hmmmmm. Okay......I guess we're going with electric. It's all fine and dandy until someone's marshmallow catches fire! 2015 Ford F-250 6.2L (She ain't diesel but she hauls ass!) 2012 Jayco Pinnacle 36KPTS Http://www.5thwheelgypsy.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch&Di Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 When we plain wore our Power Plus Levelers out in 2009 {because we are fulltimers and always on the move}, we had the 4 point Big Foot Leveling system installed that fall. We have never been sorry for this decision. When they came out with the control panel upgrade kit with the key fob, we added that and what a bonus. The system was good before but the key fob is priceless. Push a button and let it level itself. It will also remember your hitch height so that when you back your truck in when you are ready to leave, it will be level. IF for some reason you have to manual level, this feature won't work but only for that one time. Hugs, Di SKP #480482015 single Cab Ram 3500 Dually. Aisan Transmission, 410 gear.

Bob A Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Mine has 6 point electric, works good but maybe a little slower than hydraulic, but there is stuff to do while it's leveling anyway, good so far. 2014 jayco siesmic 3914 1998 volvo 610, singled short ( bought in 2005) 14 speed volvo tranny 2014 Toyota yaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaHybrid Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Dutch, the level up system is also one button push leveling and has the return to hookup level as well. They are both good systems and it depends on what you prefer. In the end, this is a Ford vs Chevy debate unless you are going electric which is slower.....in that case you must be a Chrysler fan..... 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH2 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 The people at Quadra (Bigfoot) are wonderful to deal with. We had an issue on a Sunday evening, made a call to tech support, left a voicemail and got a callback within 20 minutes. Turned out, we had an issue with the control panel. (BTW...Quadra no longer uses that particular panel) Their tech support stayed on the phone with me for over 25 minutes troubleshooting and developing a workaround. The next day, they express-shipped a new board to a PO along our route. Given the choice, I'd choose a hydraulic system over an electric. Given a choice, I'd choose the Bigfoot over any other brand. One huge advantage is the Bigfoot's ability to raise the entire coach (ours weighs 21,000+) completely off the ground. Makes tire-changing, brake work, etc... a breeze.

SPII Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have had the Bigfoot, on a KZ Escalade toy hauler, and currently have the Lippert and consider both to be equal as far as ease of use and reliability. I've had no problems with either one and both were able to lift the camper off of the ground. My current camper, Mobile Suites, weighs over 23,000 lbs. and the Lipperts work fine. 2013 DRV Mobile Suites 38TKSB3 w/ Hydra Lift motorcycle lift, MorRyde IS suspension, MorRyde hitch pin 2013 Ford F450 w/ Trailer Saver air hitch 2011 BMW R1200RT motorcycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaHybrid Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Mark, the Levelup system will also get the entire coach off of the ground. Mine is sitting here now with the right side off of the ground due to the slope here. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswhite Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Just had the Lippert 4 point system installed by factory techs at the Quartzsite AZ RV show. Outstanding installers, decent price. Love them so far. Now the only thing we argue about when setting up is who gets to push the button.

Bob Cochran Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Got the remote control that works the levelers, awnings, outside lights. That is fun but when it breaks I dread that. Until then makes things fun!!!! 2019 Thor Chateau 28E on a Ford E450 chassis. Maybe awhile but will get a new picture forgive one up there it is my old rig.

freestoneangler Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 We purchased a 2012 Jayco Pinnacle 5th wheel today. We are going to have the auto levers installed and just finance it with the trailer. I have Fibromyalgia and my husband has a couple issues so we want an easy time of things. All your input helps tremendously. My husband is worried about the 4 versus 6 point system and hydraulic versus electric. I think the RV place does the 4 point electric system. We're in Boise and I think only 2 places install these. Congratulations on your new (to you) 5th wheel. Perfect timing for your thread... been wondering about the merits of having an auto-level system. Sounds like most have found that to be a very convenient option. Good luck and safe travels.
