    Man I LOVE auto level!

    I know there are other threads extolling the virtues of auto level systems but I'm just so impressed with how easy this technology makes setting up and breaking camp. I didn't start using the auto re-connect feature until we had used our 5th wheel a number of times and it's almost as cool as auto level. I would easily pay $5,000 for auto level if I had to. It turns one of the most frustrating parts of setting up camp as easy as pushing a button.

    I agree. I avoided fifth wheels for a long time because the last three motor homes I had used HWH auto level. I watched people struggle to level fivers for many years

    Well I've only got to use mine unhooking at the house under the barn after bringing her home from the dealer. But I came from one that was all manual. I unhooked and hit the level button and just watched and giggled and squealed like a 13y.o girl!

    I like it!!! Can't wait for our maiden voyage!

    Until you watch the system lift a front leg off the ground and lock you out for 10 seconds. Seriously shat a brick.

    Under what conditions did it do this?

    Also new to this technology but have found it to be great, not perfect, and like others enjoy the simplicity of of what once once a far more complicated task..

    First unit (Voltage) came with auto electric leveler, you pushed the button went and had lunch and dinner and when you came back it was still leveling!! The new system are fantastic but was wondering our current cyclone has a lot more options on the leveling system and I can even change tires but the new one doesn't appear to have this, can you still lift the unit off the ground? Have a 399th on order!

    We use to have 'BLOWMAX' tires on our cyclone and blew three of them, plus one fender, on a trip and used the leveling system to change the tires along the highway. The system in the cyclone has up/down/left/right buttons so you can manually raise the front/back/left side/right side to lift tires off the ground. Not sure this new system can do that?
