Cost of level up system.

Camping at Lazydays in Seffner Fl. Went inside and asked about having the Level Up system installed. $ 5,000.00. The plastic leveling blocks are looking pretty good. Since most campgrounds are pretty level I'll just have to make due.

We love ours BUT if it was not "thrown" in on the Deal on our 3402RL when we bought it new I would Not spend 5k on it, It's cool but not THAT cool, although it is nice to SHOW OFF at the campground

We added it last fall at the fall Rally when there was a Rally discount. Still was $4500 but from November to May we're sitting about six or seven inches down on the door side and I never carried enough blocks for that.

I had mine installed last May at the factory. It was like $4800 with tax and all.

To us it was well worth the money. Many a times we have pulled in and the site looked level to the eye but low and behold it was not and we need a leveling board/block to get it right. Don't miss if we pull in after a long day trying to jockey the trailer around to get boards under it especially at dusk or in the dark.

On the other hand a un-level trailer is self entertaining to the dog. She just sets her ball down and it starts rolling. I don't have to toss it for her.

When we were looking at new Montana's last spring, whatever we looked at had to have the level up system. Level ground or not, the ability to just press a button or two and have the rig completely level and solid is wonderful. We also move around a lot at times and again the level up system makes our life much easier. The additional cost of the system in the big picture was nothing compared to the convenience and ease of use, especially as I am getting older.

It is listed 3475.00 on the option list when we purchased our 2013 3402. that is one of the prime reasons we purchased the new Montana. Push a button and the thing levels. We have been over 4 montrhs on our winter site in Florida and it is still dead center zero.

We were lucky. We bought our Big Sky 3580RL new in April of 2011. At that time if you wanted the 6 point leveling you had to take the Big Sky package which also include the full body paint, "G" Range Radial Tires and the Radius Fiberglass Shower. The package was around $15,000 and they had it on sale for $10,000. After a week of going back and forth on price we got the Big Sky package for $6,000. I am glad we went with the package, we love all 4 of the extra items.

Hello! I bought a 2011 3455SA and was told by the dealer that the system was not available after market but another $15k and I could get it on a 2012. So this past summer, I went to the Lippert Component Industries website and it linked me to Rieco Titan Ground Control. I called Rieco Titan and they told me that their four point unit was suitable for my Unit. Camping World had it on sale and shipped it to me for $2900. I have a pedestrian grasp of mechanics and such but by following the instructions and taking my time I was able to install it over a period of two days. I made some minor modifications to some sheet metal and put it to use. I am sitting in the unit with four pads down, nose tripod in place, rear stabalizers dowm hard and two supports under the right side slide - rock solid. These are electric jacks and this is the largest unit(weight/length combo) recommended. The six point is hydraulic and a lot more work. Caution you need to shift some weight from the suspension to the jacks to stop residual movement.
