We have the Bigfoot automatic leveling system on our 2011 31 ds greyhawk. About 3500 installed and work great!

Here is a source for Bigfoot both new & refurbished looks like decent pricing.

levelers need to be mounted on the truck frame & not the house frame to prevent frame wracking.

The bigfoot levelers appear to take much less required room for the reservoir / electronics etc. than other systems I have looked at in the past. Would love to have levelers, just don't want to give up any storage areas.

Like most 'c' owners, my rig does not have levelers. This may be changing, but I've not had them so can't really relate to using them. Most CG sites are level enough that it's no big deal to level with the lego style plastic blocks.

Not saying they wouldn't be Great to have, however. Especially if you were going to be boondocking and moving frequently.

My Big Foot system is the automatic one, not the manual - costs a tad more but I like the auto feature.

Pull in to your site, unhook your toad, push a button that automatically levels (and stabilizes) your motorhome, hook up your water, electric, and sewer, and open your slides. Total set up time 10 to 15 minutes from parking to sitting and relaxing. Could not be easier. Our fully automatic HWH levelers were a 3400 option on the Cambria when we had it built and I think it was money well spent.

Well I can't figure out how to post the link or the picture.

Here is the url if you want to copy and paste into your browser of the ramp I built using the instructions I posted.

For those that have Bigfoots, how far down do they hang when retracted?
