WE area going to look at a 2008 Itasca Cambria 29H this weekend.

It looks like a nice unit from the dealer website.

The one thing that did catch my eye though was the lack of a leveling system. Is this a big deal?

Also any other things about this model I should be aware of?

Thanks

We have a 2008 Winnebago Aspect 29H version of the Cambria.
Our MH came with HWH jacks. The automatic system.
We have been very happy with the MH. Went from a class A down to this class C.

Personally I would not have any MH that did not have jacks. You can always add them after you buy the MH.http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Aspect-Cambria/

Most Cs do not have leveling jacks, unless an owner has them added. This is a more price sensitive market, few buyers appreciate the value of a $2000 to $5000 option when comparing prices across different brands and models.

Also, weight and carrying capacity are an issue, so consider that in your choice. Be aware that the 29H floorplan pushes the limits of the E450 chassis, so pay close attention to the weight sticker and think about what you plan to carry. A short (28-30') class A, with a similar floorplan, will be on a chassis that can carry 2000 to 6000 pounds more weight, will usually have more of the heavier add-ons installed, and might cost 20% to 50% more.
