This the one in Missouri? If so, yes, this was Dale Fenton's family business. If I understand correctly, they have closed.

Yes, this is the one in Missouri.
Does anyone have a recommendation(based on personal experience)as to where to get the Level Up installed? Thanks.

Hi

Is this the place you all are talking about?



It’s too bad they were very good and helpful.

At least three MOC folks had theirs installed by Lifestyle RV in Quartzsite, AZ. Good price to boot!

Yes, the same.
I'm now looking at a place in Arkansas that is a certified installer. Good reviews so far. I need more info though.

Any idea who those members were?
I'd like to talk with them to hear how the install and after installation use worked out.

Two of them are John Kohl and Bill (Crossthread) Nappier. I am having a CRS problem with the name of the third member. Hopefully those two will be enough until I can remember the other one.

That's it! Your SOB friends. I know three rigs had it done in Q this year. Your friends are almost MOC members so I wasn't too far off.

Michael Brown doesn't have the Level Ups, DQDICK got his in Goshen if I recall, and I am not sure who the "Wards' are.

Thanks all!
I'm going to call Lifestyle RV tomorrow to be sure they are still installing LevelUp and get an "out the door" quote.

While calling to get a cost is good, don't commit until the January RV Show in Q. The last two years, there have been discounts available there that brought the price down to $4,500 or less (show coupon, MOC member, veteran, all earned discounts. The lowest price I heard was right at $4,000. PM John Kohl or Crossthread (Bill Nappier) and they can tell you more.

Of course, if they offer a special early bird price, go for it.

I did call Lifestyles RV and they do install the LevelUP 6 point system. Best time to get it done is during the "show" as show price is $4500 instead of the regular price of $5500. I was told they did 30 units last year.
If you want it done, be sure to call & schedule 1 month ahead so they can order the parts.

I had the 6 point Level-up installed by Lippert in Quartzsite last Janurary. It cost $4,010.
I was given the MOC and Veterans discount of 5% each.
The install, by 2 workers, took roughly 4 1/2 hours. They will have you to be there by 7 am,or you can park in the installation bay for the night. The gates will be locked during non- business hours. Bill

Thanks. This is the feedback I was looking for. Any post installation issues?

The only thing that I'm disappointed in,is that the front legs are at too great of an angle slanted outward. That makes for good stability. But if the legs needs to be extended enough to unhook from the truck, and the nose of the trailer has to go really low (on a downhill camping site )to level the trailer, the front rams are in a heck of a bind trying to go that low. I carry heavy plastic material to allow them to slip inward.
There is a 2 year warranty on the system.
At Q this year I will have it corrected.
Outside of that, they work as advertised.
One word of caution, Don't throw away your blocks as they tell you. I may add more blocks . I still use the BAL chocks between the tires on a sloped site to keep the trailer from running off before I get it leveled.
Would I have them installed again, HECK YES, Sure saves a lot of bending over, and more stable.
I hope this helps, Bill

Thanks Bill for the additional perspective. Plastic pads... do you use the large thinner solid ones as opposed to the "building block" style?
