Big Foot is a great system. However, I haven't heard of a lifetime guarantee, at least from Quadra, the manufacturer. But I have had one repair (pump replacement) since my warranty expired, and Quadra stood behind their product with a partial refund. System is very easy to operate and way better than struggling with leveling boards.

We have a 2011 Mobile Suites with the Level-Up system. I think it is the best thing since grandma's apple pie! Have not had it long enough to evaluate the longevity of it but really like it so far.

We have Big Foot on our 2004 Mobile Suite since 2007 and it works great for leveling and changing tires. We have had no problems with it since day one. You do need a good battery charge when you go to use the system. As long as you do not have a Lippert frame you can have it installed. Lippert put out a letter saying if you install Big Foot on their frame the warranty is void. Great system and simple to operate.

Lights--
Do you suppose that Lippert did that because they make the LevelUp system?
And don't you have a Lippert frame?

Have the Level-Up system on our Montana and just love it. Just about eliminates the need for other after market stabilizing systems. If set-up for a long term you can still deploy the rear stabilizers for just a little more, but for normal few day stays we don't bother. Just unhook, pull the TV our and hit the button, Done

I just spoke to Quadra on the warranty for the Bigfoot 4 pump systems.
1 year labor, 2 years full parts, lifetime on hydraulic rams.
Not bad!!!

Bill, you might check the Montana Owners forum. There were a couple of threads on the leveling systems a few months back

We switched to BF about a year and a half ago. Smart decision for us. We love ours. Diana

A Big Foot system is great but was a bit pricey. I did it anyhow.
My last blowout did not require a jack to change the tire. I just raised all four wheels off the ground and did the change. I did keep my rear electric stabilizer feet and use them when parked for more than a few days because even with all four legs on the ground I get some side to side movement in the rear. The front is good.
When you push the rear button 10 times then you can lower the rear legs by pushing the rear button and holding until they are where you want them.
