I looked at an Executive the other day and noted there are no jacks of this top-line model. Since my banking folks are still rolling on the floor laughing (ROTFL) over my inquiry about financing such an item, I will have to rely on the members here to provide me with knowledge.

My question: how does the jackless system compare with the 3-point system for stability and ease of use, reliability, etc? I know some of the sites we have had required deflating the bags and jacking one end up to near-max while the other was at near-min. Can the auto system handle such a large discrepancy?

...I am curious...what year was this beauty?

I think Bsavage's <STRIKE> Dynasty </STRIKE> I mean Marquis

...has both systems...but she may be able to chime in when she shows up today...

We just moved from a unit with (4)leveling jacks ('03 Winnebago Journey DL)to our current '05 Monaco Dynasty. One of the pleasant surprises was the automatic air bag leveling system. Just press a button twice, and the coach is automatically levelled. Had some doubts about its stability as opposed to the hydraulic stabilizers as to motion while parked, but do not notice the difference at all. It is really user friendly and a nice feature. safe travels....

Went from my 05 Dipomat with jacks to the Camelot with air only. I haven't had any problems with the air system. If I need to I can manually move the front/rear end up and down a good bit. Seems just a stable as the jacks. The only bad thing I could see is if your need to raise the coach to change a flat. Can't do it with air leveling.

I have noticed that by just dumping some air, the coach settles down low enough so that the step is a little easier for my Senior Goldie to use. There is some hissing sounds for several minutes after the dump and the coach is as stable on the bags as with the jacks down.

The Exe I was looking at is a 2000, 42'. Droooollll, what a beauty. All the bells and whistles, LR slide, tag axle, 500HP (double drool).

Ok...will this beauty end up at the R'Bama domicile in the near future...or will you be stuck only grunting over your Sawzall?

RonNBama · 10-23-2007, 01:49 PM

The sawzall is paid for, so I may just do a Tim-the-tool-man hop-up on it to scratch the itch for a new toy.

Hey Ron is that Huntsville Alabama??? A guy I work with His Son is down there playing hockey for the University!!

Latitude...
I do know it IS Alabama (look at his "name"

) ...plus I have actually talked to the 'infamous' RonNBama ...and he sounds like he is from AL-EEE-BAMMMA!!

RonNBama · 10-25-2007, 01:48 PM

Yep, Nawth AlaBammer Huntsville. UAH usually has a respectable hockey team. Not a fan myself, but they make headlines in the sports section frequently..

As Monaco Mama said, our Beaver Marquis has both the hydraulic leveling system and the air leveling system. We LOVE the air leveling system, our previous Beaver had only the hydraulic, which was good, but the air leveling is great. It is faster, easier, and has gotten us level in places we haven't been able to get level in with the hydraulic system on the previous coach. Good luck!
