All new Cruisers coming off the line are now being equipped with Intellijacks, formerly called LevelEase. This is an automatic system for front to back leveling. It works great and is a terrific enhancement. Crossroads is making a major advancement over the same price competition.We have LevelEase on our Cruiser. My son installed it forus and it works great. The company making Intellijacks is fantastic with superior customer service. Edited by: artgpo

Go ahead Don and order it they will just bill it to you,After all if the house has to pass a bill to see what is in it, this should not be any different

The price is $295 for the single motor version. Once installed the existing jack switch is no longer used. Ours is installed inside the driver's side storage compartment. Edited by: artgpo

While I find this device intriguing I'm having trouble seeing the value. I have a $2 bubble gauge on the side of the TT near the leveler switch. I hold the button until the bubble is in the middle. What is the advantage of spending $295 for something that does the same thing?
I guess one advantage is that you could go have a beer after you pushed the button with the LevelEase :-)

Ken,
It automates the disconnecting,leveling, connect and retracting functions. You can multitask (i.e. drink beer) while any function is taking place. If you are on soft ground the Intellijacks will keep you level.

Sounds like another feature of questionable value that can break down and cost you $$$$ to fix.
I will stay with my finger and a bubble level.

Guess if you only have one hand or arm, I can really see it's value. Otherwise, I can hold on to a beer and push the up-down button all while using the bubble.

The Intellijacks have a lifetime warranty and excellent factory support. Anything to save time and make life easier is what I want.

Sounds like an excellent added feature. I obviously know nothing about them so I have a question. Whenever we park we use boards when needed under whichever wheel to get it level. After the slides go out and front jacks go down there is always a little change. Will these Intellijacks take care of that problem?

calliopeguy.............Do you put the rear stabilizers down before you slide out? Other wise the weight of the slide will tilt your rig a little if you don't.

I have to adjust my jacks a bit as well. I figured it was because of the tires cooling after driving all day and the rig settling. I think this is a normal occurrence. 2 hrs after setting up, I go around, tighten the rear jacks and re-tighten the wheels chocks.

California Jay - I have always put the rear stabilizer jacks down as the last step in set-up. I'll have to try your idea and put them down before pushing the slides out. Unfortunately that isn't going to happen now for another 6 1/2 months
