The levelers I am looking at are somewhere in the $3~4K neighborhood, which after this season, seems worth every penny to me. The ones I am looking at have two types; manual and automatic.

Wife wants the automatic system, but I am thinking of the manual system. There is not a huge price difference, but the manual system has a wireless remote control, so you can walk around the coach and lift a bit here, a bit there, and so on.

I will have the factory install them - not a dealer. I live about 60 miles from the factory, so it is not a huge issue. They charge a $600 flat rate for installation, which includes welding the attachment points to the frame (the hydraulic cylinders themselves bolt to the attachment points).

And the factory rep told me that usually in the Jan timeframe, they run a sale, lopping $500 off the installation, since it is the slow time of the season. While there is no guarantee that they will be doing so this winter, we're waiting to see if that happens.

Now, we just have to figure out if we want a manual or auto system.
