Automatic levelling

You may have discounted the Autolift and nor do i know if they can be fitted to PVCs:

There is no doubt that the majority of motorhome users find them too expensive or would rather spend their money on something else which is fine.  Life would be dull if we were all the same.  However, all the comments I have seen or heard from the minority who have them, which now includes me, are favourable.  My review of the Autolift captures some of the benefits.  We are glad to see the back of our levelling wedges which we never found easy to use.

Here is its manual if you haven't already seen it:

Claims to be 52 kg to 60 kg.  Don't know if that includes everything.  The Autolift claims to be about 65 kg with everything.

I am sure many owners who have not up-plated are on the rear axle limit, especially if they travel with full or nearly full tanks and bikes on the back, so they may struggle even though the additional mass is between the axles.  I don't have this problem with the Nuevo where I reckon each axle mass has only been increased by about 20 kg after the corner steadies, jack and wedges etc have been removed.  The Autolift comes with a rod that hooks onto the pads for positioning and removal but I haven't found the need to use it yet as it's no effort to reach under the van to each jack.  I believe the hydraulic systems like the MAVE don't need pads as each hydraulic ram extends further and has a large foot.  I'm not discarding my grip mats which will be easier to place under the tyres with the drive wheels off the ground.
