Expert Reply:
Electronic RV leveling systems like the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 # LC358590 do make it easier to level your RV since they can operate automatically. Leveling your RV by pushing a button or two can make life at the next campground a lot more pleasant since the manual cranking and the back and forth with your helpers is eliminated. Manual operation is still possible in the event of a power outage.
The Ground Control use Hall effect motors with sensors that can keep track of the motors' revolutions for accurate leveling. This system requires installation by a factory-certified Lippert technician.
Other electric stabilizers like the Ultra-Fab Power Twin II # UF39-941707 also use electric motors for controlling the jacks but are manually controlled; they do not have sensors for automatic leveling.
