Well the one pump is cheaper. It was also on sale which made it even cheaper ($1988 plus $150 for bolt on kit).

But the 4 pump I think alows you to raise two at a time. I didnt really know this when I purchased the Big Foot Platinum a few month ago.

The Platinum kit will set the two front down first and raise it about 2 or 3 inches then the back is depoyed and does the same.....but if you want to raise just front or just the left side you have to do ONE at a TIME. I thought I could hold two buttons down at the same time - it wont allow you to do this. Just one jack at a time.... Back and forth.

So its like a seesaw - LR, then RF, Back and forth until you are level. This rocking drives my wife crazy (oh well). But this still is much quicker (and safer) than driving up on lego blocks. I have spent 45 mintues before trying to level the RV with blocks under 3 wheels and 5 or 6 high to just giving up with its "close enough".

If I had to do it again might go with the Auto level version for a litte more money.

Another reason I DIDNT go with Auto level was many forum members with the Auto level from factory say it dont work very well and that they do it manually. So I figured no sense in paying extra for something that I wont use.

Or they will say the Auto level wont deploy if it thinks it cant level it so they do it manually.
