There are several electric and hydraulic "4 point" and "6 point" leveling jack systems available as aftermarket additions. The problem with them is the cheapest I've seen the least expensive is well over $2500 installed. I am not sure if the frame on the Passport would even support an electric leveling system. You'd have to check on that with an RV service facility.

I would suggest you look at other options. The cost of installing a system that costs that much on a lightweight trailer isn't cost effective for most owners. Getting even a part of your investment back would be difficult when you want to dispose of the trailer.

Additionally, nearly 100% of travel trailers stored for the winter are parked on the tires. There has been no evidence that lifting the RV off the tires improves their life or their reliability in any substantial way. Certainly it wouldn't save the cost of any permanently mounted lift system.
