    Auto level

    Hi. Unfortunately I am not a GD owner but envy everyone who is. But my question is, do GD TT come with or have the option of auto level system for smaller rigs 28 and under? I am fascinated with how fifth wheels do this and wish I could get a TT with it.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    As far as I know none of the Grand Design travel trailers have auto level systems. Instead, they come with "Power Front and Rear Stabilizer Jacks". Auto Level is definitely one of the nicest features of RV's so I can understand why you're interested in it.

    Auto-leveling on travel trailers is an issue of frame stiffness. There are a couple of aftermarket systems available (Lippert and Big Foot), but I'm not sure about the stresses they would put on a TT frame.

    Actually ladies and gentlemen, you will be seeing the debut of Ground Control TT on floorplans from several manufacturers when 2022 models begin production. I had the privilege to tour several brands while in Indiana this Fall.

    I wish I did for you! Condition of the tours is no photographs, especially when seeing concept models. Some really interesting things coming like this, rear slide bunkrooms, new composite construction, broader offerings of super lite weights, and a lot of small gear haulers.

    There are several model TT's out now with auto level from the factory -
    Outback & Connect come to mind.

    I installed a Lipper Ground Control leveling system on my 2021 GD Reflections 300 RBTS. I love the system, installed it myself took me 3 days in my drive way. The system can detect frame twist and will stop the
    jack that could twist the frame. It works well on level and Simi level camp sites. You can manually level the system but be careful you can twist the frame. I have learned very little frame twist can effect Schwintek slideouts.
