I called them today. You can't find them yet as they don't have any. They are expecting them this week.
I still can't figure out how it can calculate the amount of inches you need to raise your 5th wheel side to side if you do not mount the sending unit in the middle of the fifth wheel. They claim it won't make any difference if you mount the sending unit off center, As an example, under a kitchen drawer that is about 24 inches from the wall. Can anybody explain to me how this would work????

Seems like an expensive Rube Goldberg way to do the same thing these will do. JMHO Oh yea the batteries won't go dead either.

The angle of the floor is going to be the same no matter where it is unless twisted. Therefore it doesn't matter. It is not reading altitude just angle.

I guess that will replace my Jumbo Level with brackets for $29.99. I think there are other things I want to spend my money on. I look at the level and it tells me how many inches and what side to put blocks under, but I don't have to do any of that now as I have hydraulic levelers now and all the jumbo level does is tell me when it is level, side to side and front to back while I'm standing beside it with the controller.

Not to knock the OP but I guess I don't see the need of something like this for the price they are wanting but to each their own and it is not my money that they are spending.

This is just IMO
Can't beat hydraulic jacks for easy leveling. Those jacks for trailers are far more expensive than the EZ level and alot more than a jumbo level.Still, they are great to have.

This is true but they sure do work great. Mine weren't near as expensive as the Bigfoot brand but they will lift my 5er complete off the ground if I need to change all 4 tires at one time. There were installed by the manufacturer when the 5er was built.

You did get catch me huh
