ABSTRACT:
A system for leveling a vehicle, such as a recreational vehicle, includes three extendable and retractable fluid-operated jacks. The jacks are spring-biased to their retracted position. Supply of hydraulic fluid under pressure extends the jacks, and the jacks are retracted by relieving the supply of hydraulic fluid pressure to the jacks to allow the springs to expel fluid from the jacks. A number of unique aspects are incorporated in the leveling system for providing highly advantageous construction, operation and installation.
