The Lippert system transfers the weight directly to the frame which would seem to me to be more stable with less stress to the leveling system. This will require more research. I wonder if anybody here uses the Ultra-Fab levellers.

Our old Airstream had the manual version of the Ultra-fab. It's the outrigger design that makes them so stable. I used my drill to run them up and down, but even using the crank handle I could lift the camper to get it level.
Never had any problems lifting the Airstream with them. When they are deployed the jack pivots outward on the jackscrew, so the lift point gets closer to the frame rails the higher it is extended.
I had planned on getting a set of manual levellers and found they had added the electric version, so the list changed and the jacks keep getting moved down the list for the important stuff. List is getting shorter, like just about cleared off, so next spring I'll finally get around to it.
