Need recommendation on the best powered leveling jacks

[DWayYouLie]

My buddy, Warren, got a 2021 promaster modified and converted into a 2022 Winnebago Roam, but it's a pain to use.

Even after lifting the van, the lift still crashes into the ground or sidewalk most of the time (like 8 or 9 out of 10 tries!).

He really needs this bcs his dad is in a wheelchair, but with this situation, he can't even get out of the van.

He said it's okay not to get a powered leveling jacks, he have decided that's the way to go.

But he needs something he can control from inside the van (near the sliding door or driver's seat) to lift at least the passenger side up a few inches.

He’s hoping for recommendations on the best (and hopefully not crazy expensive) powered leveling jacks for his van.

It would be nice to share a quick rundown if anyone knows about this kind of tech. he's not familiar with this kind of tech, I can't help him much either.

Basically, warren wants a powered jack he can control from inside to lift the van so the wheelchair lift doesn't keep hitting the ground.

Does anyone know the best and most affordable options for this? Any insights would be appreciated!

The Lippert high speed power stabilizer jack is an affordable and reliable option for stabilizing and minor leveling tasks. While it doesn't have a 30 inch lift (most have a stroke of 6-12 inches) it can be conveniently controlled from inside the vehicle. I've used it in a similar camper van project and worked like a charm.

Winnebago dropped the ball, should've planned for real world use. Warren should skip jacks and go with an air suspension kit like air lift or VB. He'll get in cab control and can lift the passenger side a few inches easily. make sure it has a compressor and switch setup.

Sorry to hear this, it must be super frustrating for Warren and his dad! I second @strandedwolf54 about the Lippert Components if you're considering a set of heavy-duty electric trailer tongue jacks. You might also want to check Air Lift or Firestone! They're more expensive and they require professional installation but they might be the more robust solution long-term!

Vouching for the Lippert ones. They're the best bang for the buck to be honest. Other brands, I haven't really touched them and I ain't going anywhere near them especially since I already found the perfect ones.
