    Thanks for your help and interest.

    Yes, the pictures make it hard to see if any rear jacks (behind the tires.) The MSRP link attached does state 4 point and matches the VIN as well. keep us posted.

    And yes, @Pat and Karen - they are electric.

    The leveling system is likely the Lippert Ground Control system. What is puzzling is the appearance of the front jacks, they don't look like the Lippert electric leveling jacks currently used.

    I’ve had both systems. Looks to me like electric leveling. Front jack legs are adjustable with spring loaded pins. I think they have them extended quite a bit. That’s why the pin is so high. Hydraulic system the legs are not adjustable.

    I would find another unit, 6 point is better for almost 40 feet and the upgrade to H rated 17.5 tires is a great change.

    That unit that is linked has the 6 point. You can see the mid ship stabilizers. I'm positive it will have the levelers behind the axles as well.

    I've never seen a 3540 with 4 point leveling. It is most definite electric, as all S Class have.

    Steve - the MSRP states 4 point as well.

    So, mystery solved. The dealer sent me pictures and the unit does have the 6 point system. Invoice is incorrect. That makes me feel better. I may have to jump on this one if the numbers work out.
    Thank you all for all your input.
    I have a different brand of fifth wheel now and am a member of that brand's owners forum. I don't get the help there that I've gotten here.

    Kim, Mark, and Lizzy the cat - great to hear !

    Yes, this forum has always been more a family forum where folks truly want to help and learn in a caring, respectful, and kind way. Hope it all works out for you ! Keep us posted.

    Will be interesting to learn more on the invoice/MSRP error.....if you do, please share that.

    Thanks, again, for the update confirming what we thought s/b the case.

    Looking at the invoice pdf, it looks fabricated from the 2930RL MSRP list.

    The 2930 is the only one with the 4 point leveling system.

    What current brand do you have now? We had an Open Range (from 2010) 399BHS - 40' long with Lippert's first iteration of 4 point (non auto-leveling) landing gear. It worked fine for that camper (was only 10800 dry weight even with 5 slides) - I learned how to manually level 4 point systems - also used it to do maintenance - repack wheel bearings, etc. and eventually wore out the front landing legs - they were very easy to replace and not too expensive.

    The ease of servicing the electric systems versus hydraulic systems steered me towards the S-Class series. Love the speed of hydraulic - yes it is a great system, but if it fails it generally requires more effort to repair it, and may leave the system(s) unusable. Having the electric slides (each is independent) and electric landing gear (if a jack fails it is easy to replace it or temporarily remove it and work around it).
