Had manual on last trailer. Have electric on the current trailer ( came that way ). As with power vs manual crank awnings, more convenient, but I always worry about motor failure. Does not take long to crank down the stabs or crank out an awning. As long as they're working, great. As soon as one fails, I'll be wishing I had manual.

Mine broke within the first year. Sheared key between gear and motor. Cheaply made. I now use a power drill to drive them down.
Takes as long to run them down as a manual crank and not near as noisy

If possible to order on your model consider the auto-level. New on TTs from LCI this year. Yes, a little wobble but nothing like pushing 1 button on my 5er and leveled.

Much less than when ordered from the factory. Also, I suspect the TT 4 point system will be much less even after market than the level up. I cannot recall the cost of Ground Control 3.0 that came on my 5er from the factory but it was less than half that amount.
AND worth every penny.

I think it's much cheaper to go the way Bob and I did. At least we can repair our setup ourselves and bottom line, our setup makes the trailer just as stable when parked. May not be able to push one button, but I'm not too lazy (yet) to push 3 buttons.
