Almost all Class A motorhomes do have power levelers, not necessarily automatic or self-leveling. It is simply a matter of touching one or two of four buttons to actuate the leveling system. If you can sit and hold a button or two forless than thirty seconds or so, you can level a Class A. There are different brands, with HWH likely being predominent on most.
Having "self-leveling" is just not a necessity, considering the simplicity and ease of operation of these controls.

My husband and I own a 29' 5th wheel. We bought this RV before my husband had lower back and neck surgeries and it has greatly reduced his abilitly to level the RV. We are thinking of selling the 5th wheel and getting a Class A. Are all Class A's self leveling and if not how do you level them?

Welcome Sharon, no they do not all come with self levelers. You can however add a system to most . Look into Bigfoot Levelers.

If you are pleased with your fifth wheel, why not add levelers to your rig. Cost might be a lot less than trading for a motor home. Several brands are out there, Bigfoot is one. I think another is called Levelup. Search the web for information and vendors. I also think Moryde offers a system.

Thanks to all you for the good info. I was not aware that we could add levelers to our 5th. It is great to be part of such knowledge.

Quite correct. If the issue is leveling then a Big Foot system is an excellent choice to install on a 5er.It can also be a real friend if you ever have to change a tire.The system is capable and certified by the manufacturer to safely lift a 5er off all 4 wheels.I’ve done it many times to service tires, etc.You may not be able to change the tires yourself, but if ever necessary on the side of the road you’ll be glad you had it while the service guy, who didn’t bring the correct jack, changes a tire for you.
The company Quadra will install or alternatively MOR/ryde can install.
This is one of the best additions we’ve ever made to our 5er.
