Smile Auto leveling system on 322qbs

Has anyone had installed or installed the Lippert level up system on this Fiver?
322QBS.
I would love to hear your thoughts on it and I would install myself if I can get the whole system. Anyone know where I can get this?

To the best of my knowledge, the Lippert Level-Up System can only be installed by authorized Service Center because of the complexity of the system. So I'm pretty sure a do-it-yourself is out of the question. There are brackets that must be welded to the frame to mount the jacks. I had the system retrofitted to our previous Montana at TrailAir in Goshen, and it took the two experienced Tech a whole day to do the install and watching them, not something the typical "Back Yard Mechanic" would want to tackle.

I haven't heard of anybody installing their own. I think your first hurdle will be finding somebody to sell you the system without installing it.

What's a ballpark price of having one of these installed. I just switched from a motorhome to this 5er and I miss my hydraulic leveling jacks. My Montana came with the electric ones on the rear but they seem pretty useless. Also just having the landing jacks and the two by the rear bumper I can't seem to stop this thing from shaking everytime someone rolls over in their bed.

Go to a RV salvage yard and buy it, other than the welding its a piece of cake.
I have a list of all RV salvage yards in Ca. I did not see where you were from.

If you're 5er is unstable, you can find lots of threads on stabilizing a 5th wheel. I can help you with some suggestions. PM me if you'd like.
