new 2300 with auto leveling??

thinking on the 2300 as the one we buy and wondered if the leveling systems work without problems.would like the convenience but not if they are known to have problems.

Search threads where this had been discussed
Lots of info
Some have had issues
I have had no problems so far in fact they saved me one day when I was l was loading up for a trip.
Left the rear cargo door open (in down position) and filled fresh water tank. the weight lowered the coach and door was stuck on the driveway
Quickly raised the rt rear leveler and saved the door from damage

We ordered a new 2300 and got the leveling system i think it will be so nice to just level from inside and not have to worry with blocks etc

Some places require pads under the feet of the levelers. You need to carry some with you. I think the ones that require it have asphalt which cannot withstand concentrated loads.

Especially in heat. If you overnight at parking lots, be very mindful of that in hot climates.

You've got few dealers close by that are pretty aggressive on price. Lewis RV is one in Dayton area. Ray Lewis is the owner, good guy.

Thats up to the dealer. To order one, you're looking at 8-10 weeks, unless we have one being built already we could switch over.

Unless the one coming in is exactly what you want I would recommended ordering. If you were to order I would also recommend waiting about 2 months or a little more to get a 2016 model. RVs change over model years early, usually in April. Two good reasons IMO to wait is that the unit will be 1 model year newer with better resale value and it has a better chance of not being driven to your dealer on salty winter roads. However if you plan to winter camp or head south this winter then getting it now makes more sense. Other wise by the first time you use it it will be one model year old.
