I am debating having them installed. It would be a drive but having HWH install them is almost 1/2 price vs dealer.
If anyone has them let me know if they work well on uneven sites or are they just for stability after you use blocks?

Sounds like a good idea. Do you know how much weight those will add?

Good move. I wouldn't do jacks unless they were HWH. Take the drive, it will be worth it to have it done right.

The Minneapolis camping and RV show is this coming weekend. I wonder if HWH will have a booth? Most likely their dealers will have some on display. I wish there was something scenic in SE iowa to make a trip out of it.... Maybe a golf course around to play while they install them.

Boy what a disappointment! There were no real aftermarket vendors for motorhome accessories. Mainly dealers selling rvs. I wish HWH was there with a booth....

I would love to pay only 3 K,
Its just a hair under 5k to have HWH jacks put on at their factory in Iowa. (That is just cost of parts, they do not charge for labor).

Glad mine came with the leveling system. That is one thing that all units should have as a standard and not as an option.

Mine came on it as well I thought invoice was 3k? Could be wrong. I like it. I had a 98 Gas Dutch Star and I like my 2012 ACE much better. DS was getting long in the tooth:
