I have been having numerous problems with my Atwood Leveling System since I purchased my 2006 Allegro motorhome in that year. Every jack has been replaced at least once. This last problem involved one of my jacks dropping to the road while I was driving. Luckily it didn't catch on anything in the road since I drove for several miles with it down. Sue Noyes at Atwood has offered to replace mine with a new system. I am wondering if anyone has tried the new system. I am now just manually driving up on blocks which is working fairly well and not using the Atwood system. In checking with several RV techs they have questioned whether or not it is worth it to spend the money to replace the system considering the age and miles on my RV, 68,000. The new system would be around $1200 plus labor. Do you have any suggestions? Do you have any information about the new system and how well it works?

Not knowing whether your unit is gas or diesel the milage is low.......if it is a gasser you have another 100K of miles left if it is taken care of........if its a diesel you have'nt broken the motor in yet....
as far as levelers......your unit is a 2006 tiffin with a slide I would suggest putting the levelers back in order.........if your old ones just fell off while you traveled down the road I would stop using the RV servicer that does your annual inspections and repair......someone is not doing something they should be durring inspection!!......and your coach is only 8 yrs old!!
Attwood levelers normally have no issues if they are used correctly.......level leg types with bolt on brackets need to be inspected at least yearly and be tighten when necessary
I understand you level with blocks but you cannot level the coach squarely and stop coach shake with blocks
A good RV Tech doing your install and 1200 for parts is a good deal!!!
