Electric vs Hydraulic Jacks

[RJShiflet]

Hydraulic is certainly faster...no doubt.

But hydraulic leaks can be really, really messy and expensive to fix...if you can find someone to repair it. I've had hydraulic leaks on two different RVs (fifth wheel and motorhome).

Being in our mid-70s, we downsized from a 42-foot fifth wheel to a 37-foot motorhome and now to a 32-foot fifth wheel. Our current fifth wheel has electric four-point leveling. Yes, it's slower, but it's dependable.

That's what was offered on the rig we wanted so that's what we got. I can see if we were moving every day or so the slowness of electrical would be frustrating, but that's not the case.
