Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Almost all Class A motorhomes do have power levelers, not necessarily automatic or self-leveling. It is simply a matter of touching one or two of four buttons to actuate the leveling system. If you can sit and hold a button or two forless than thirty seconds or so, you can level a Class A. There are different brands, with HWH likely being predominent on most.
Having "self-leveling" is just not a necessity, considering the simplicity and ease of operation of these controls.

My husband and I own a 29' 5th wheel. We bought this RV before my husband had lower back and neck surgeries and it has greatly reduced his abilitly to level the RV. We are thinking of selling the 5th wheel and getting a Class A. Are all Class A's self leveling and if not how do you level them?
If you are pleased with your fifth wheel, why not add levelers to your rig. Cost might be a lot less than trading for a motor home. Several brands are out there, Bigfoot is one. I think another is called Levelup. Search the web for information and vendors. I also think Moryde offers a system.
Welcome Sharon, no they do not all come with self levelers. You can however add a system to most . Look into Bigfoot Levelers.
Quite correct. If the issue is leveling then a Big Foot system is an excellent choice to install on a 5er.It can also be a real friend if you ever have to change a tire.The system is capable and certified by the manufacturer to safely lift a 5er off all 4 wheels.I’ve done it many times to service tires, etc.You may not be able to change the tires yourself, but if ever necessary on the side of the road you’ll be glad you had it while the service guy, who didn’t bring the correct jack, changes a tire for you.
The company Quadra will install or alternatively MOR/ryde can install.
This is one of the best additions we’ve ever made to our 5er.
