Aftermarket auto leveling systems - Anyone have any experiences with them?

Hello, I purchased a new 2010 Montana 3750 FL right before the 2011s came out with the factory leveling system... I have been looking at several different aftermarket manufactures and they all seem similar in features and costs ($5k to $7k installed). Does anyone have any actual experience with units that have had these systems added after the fact? How about the 4 point vs the 6 point systems? Electric vs hydraulic?

Many thanks!

Several people on the Montana Owners forum has this upgrade installed on their Montanas. It appears that everyone is happy with the new system.

Congrats on the 3750FL

We use the Big Foot Leveling system by Quadra. It is a 4 point system but the jacks can handle a heavier wait than the 6 point system. We have been using it for over 4 years and have been extremely happy with it. Hugs, Di

Thanks guys. I looked at the Montana site, but didn't find anything. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place.... Does anyone have the link? I have been in a few units that have the factory installed kits, but wasn't sure how the aftermarket kits fared for fit and function.

I called the closest LCI install center and am thinking of pulling the trigger on the 6 point level up system.

Install is only one day and they have hook ups there to stay the night before so they can start early. Said ok to stay the next night as well. Since it will be about a 5 hr trip this really helps out. They are also willing to do a weekend appt.

Price was lower than i expected. Truthfully the wonderful woman nearly had my American Express card #'s! She could have sold a bride a ketchup popsicle on her wedding day.
