Class C Leveling

I have a 2018 Freelander 21rs with the Chevrolet chassis. I am considering adding a leveling system, and I am wondering what others here have had, and whether the fully automatics are worth getting.

My Coachmen Concord came with the BigFoot system. It has both automatic and manual settings. I typically find the auto to be a bit too aggressive, I usually just use the manual. But either way it beats the fool out of using blocks under the wheels!

X2 wouldnt be without the Big Foot leveling jacks You might check under your rig to see if the brackets for a Big Foot system is already there.

Raulrio, I don’t know the specifics of this post but I think you need to
take a look at it for yourself:
http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...ml#post1760741

Additionally, I have seen issues with big foot control panels that seemed to be problematic such as having to remove the connector on the back of the panel to reset it. On the positive side, I have not seen any problems with the jack operation or durability. I have Level-Up on my new C and also had it on my A and a 6 point on my 5er. I have had issues with all except my current unit. Good Luck and Safe Travels,
Ducky

Sounds like your going to have to make some calls to Lippert,Quadra and HWH to see if they can outfit your rig safely. My Big Foot system hasn't had a lick of trouble last 3 yrs

The Chevy chassis, unstretched like the one I was going to purchase, was too small for the Big Foots. Quadra did not have a schematic or recommendations on jack placement. Essentially the dealer was on their own.

I haven't heard from Bigfoot yet. That's is likely the same with mine.

You might try HWH out in Iowa. They have a Chevy 3500 listed that MAY fit your 4500. I know that they will install it at the factory if it fits. Probably worth the trip.
