Hello.
Just to add my two cents on the auto and manual!
I have a manual hydraulic system also and it has been very dependable now that being said.
When I pull in to a site I run down the lowest point Jack's and level it. Then stabilize the opposite end. Then roll side to side if needed. And have never had a problem!!

Now I have also had customers with the auto set up as mentioned above pull in to the site pop the brakes and hit the auto set up. It can be that simple and typically is.

BUT! the reason two coaches came to me, the first time the air bag was pulled apart and my first thought was faulty air bags as they were only three years old and mine were 15 at the time. Then it happened again and I wanted to know why and upon testing them I noticed when using the auto part the coach raised itself and in the process of leveling itself it all but raised the tires off the ground and at that point the bags were pulled and stressed so far they literally pulled right off the base.. I think the auto leveling is not something I want or need after seeing this issue. I just level and stabilize my coach and not raise it a mile off the ground. I have seen others raise their's way up on the Jack's but there is no need. Level and stabil is the key.. just my 2 cents save your money unless it's something you really want and like to spend money my manual system works perfect .good luck!!
This is for class a type mostly
Smaller rvs like BT and TT jacks don't lift they mainly stabilize.

LIFE IS GOOD!!!!! LIVING IT!!!!
