I did end up putting levelers on (HWH brand, with kick-down jacks due to the low clearance on the class C). It made the leveling process infinitely easier (and my wallet thousands of dollars lighter). They did, however, add a bit of weight to the coach, which reduced the already limited cargo carrying capacity.

Was I glad I did it? Yes. The problem, which is not unique to me, is that I ended up trading the class C in for my current Thor class A, and didn't really get any more in trade-in for having the levelers on them. I still haven't learned to stay away from the RV shows during the winter!


We had our TT from July to October and upgraded to the Class C. My ultimate goal is to have a 40-45' class A. Afraid to go to Camping world to even shop for supplies. The $5.00 pack of toilet paper might wind up coming with a Thor Venetian for a "few extra bucks"
