Jim,
Thanks for explaining the different leveling systems available for Heartland products. I didn't know that there was a difference between the Electronic (hydraulic) 4 point system that you can order with your new coach, and the Level-Up from Lippert (Trailair) 6 point system, that is an aftermarket install, like the Big Foot.
So I am now including in this thread the question of the difference in costs between the 4 point install from Heartland (does it utilize Lippert components?), and the 6 point Lippert Easy Level Up system as well as the Big Foot system? I have heard all kinds of different costs from $2300-$4295, so what's up, if you are ordering a new coach? It is very confusing to me. According to Lippert's website these are the MSRP prices:
I) Upgrade from all electric equipment (requires hydraulic pump)
SKU# 242703
$4,295 MSRP
II) Upgrade to 4 aluminum leveling jacks
(coach is already equipped with hydraulic landing gear & pump*)
SKU# 242667
$2,536.55 MSRP
III) Upgrade to 2 aluminum leveling jacks
(Primarily DRV units already equipped with rear leveling jacks)
SKU# 242666
$1,519.25 MSRP
*Note: LCI may need to replace coach's hydraulic pump, which would require an additional charge
So, what does it cost to buy and install on a new coach from the factory, and which is best, 4 point or 6 point aftermarket?
It would be nice to know which system works the best. I have to ask an important question of which system, besides leveling, also stabilizes the coach the best? I know there are add-on stabilizers, including the Lippert JT Strong Arm Stabilizer $299, and the Big Foot also has an add-on 6 piece set called Plug It Right Stabilizers, with an MSRP of $289.95.
