Another crossover from FB. An owner posed a question on FB about having true one button automatic leveling on their Venture. They had it on their old RV and loved it. I of course answered because we had it on our old RV's and loved it too. I'm good right now stepping back to doing it manually right now ,but would consider it if we can pony up the money for it. Of course with everything Boat or RV, anything is pretty much possible with $ , sometimes big $. Did find that BAL Had a couple versions, but no current info. Lippert, which we had , does make systems for TT's, from $2500-3500. or so. but not sure if they will mount up to the BAL NXG Frame.

Also keep in mind that (I believe) most trailers only have stabilizers. Leveling should be done with the front jack and boards under the tires. The stabilizers are not meant to lift the unit up.

Yep you are right, the powered legs on the Venture are for stabilizing rather than leveling. They aren't robust enough to solidly lift and level the the trailer without over straining them. The Lippert and others are dedicated systems. As an aside, the 6 point Lippert we had on our Montanas that weighed 14k and 17k respectively were strong enough lift all the wheels off the ground. Still not a recommended practice to do that, but they could do it.
