But, from what I have read and heard, the auto levelers and second air are going to add nearly 2,000 lbs to the unit. We want a smaller trailer similar to our 3150RL, (11,100lbs empty) and are towing with a 2008, Ford F250 super duty diesel.
1. Is the auto leveling good and worth the money?
2. Anyone know if my Super Duty will handle the load?

Well, we had no experience with them before buying a used unit exactly kike yours: 2011 3150 RL. Love it, love it ! Worth the extra weight, and definitely a time saver and useful if wanting to jack up one side for some reason (properly supported before getting underneath). In terms of another AC, if sleep is more valuable than more weight and expense, i would vote for a second AC. We are in the Pacific Northwest, so more heat waves are pretty short-lived, but if Texas beckons next winter, we will pony up for the bedroom AC.
