Hydraulics are great but as where I park 90% of weekends while working is plumb, I really would prefer not to spend 5K and wondered if anyone has any experience

To be fair, I've not had any experience of either models but if I needed to fit a levelling system, I'd go for hydraulic every time. I can't imagine a worse environment for electronic screw jacks than the underside of a motorhome. Look at all the problems people have with their electronic actuator steps on their vans.

Still nearly 3 grand without fitting so not that much cheaper overall than EP.

Not my cup of tea. The pads on the legs are very small and if your not on hardstanding then you will need to put additional wider pads under the feet to stop them sinking into the ground. I'll stick with our E&P system.

Here's a couple of video's, one showing the installation of the jacks but no electrics and the other shows the system operating. Make your own mind up to whether you think their any good or not.

I think you will find @hoot007 has them on the Flair that they bought, they came with it were not working but by the end of a "fix-it meet" they were about working but not sure if it stayed that way or got better/worse, I think at least some of the problems were related to limit switches.

In Spain last year I parked next to couple from somewhere in Europe (can't remember the actual country) who had electric vehicle levelling. They asked me what I thought of my E&P system as they were very unhappy with theirs and said it was very unreliable. They were going to change to hydraulic. I know only one unhappy person so hope you can find further other reviews.

Don't know if there are but they look American and they seem to be the experts at under engineered tat.
If they were 500 quid might be worth a risk but at nearly 3k supply only I'd give then a wide berth.

Has anybody else fitted one of these systems to their motorhome and can offer an honest review?
