    Adding Self Leveling System 5th Wheel Trailer

    Has anyone added an automatic self leveling system to a 303RLS 5th Wheel Trailer? If so, what system did you use, approximate cost, did it work like you expected, would you do it again? I would like to do this if it is feasible.

    All current Reflection 5th wheels come with a Lippert control 3 electric auto leveling system. As such, probably easily retrofitable on your 2015.

    I know the current 303's come with the self leveling systems. I, however purchased my 303 before Grand Design put them on. So, I don't have self leveling system - just stabilizers. Hence my question about adding a self leveling system to my trailer.

    And what kit are you referring to - the electric like the current 303's have or the hydraulic system which is about $5-6k?

    Hi:
    I understand your 2015 was before GD started including the leveling system. What I was trying to say is the system currently installed on the reflections (lippert control 3) "should" retrofit to your 303 fairly easily. Here is the link to the system at etrailer for reference. http://www.etrailer.com/Camper-Jack/.../LC358590.html An electric system would be a lot easier to retrofit then hydrolic. You already have electric to each jack now that can be reused ( the wiring not the jacks). you will just need to add the control wires

    Your information is exactly what I was looking for. I see that the cost of the kit is now around $2,600. I wonder how much it would cost to install it?
