    THIS MOTORHOME HAS LIPPERT HYDRAULIC LEVELERS. THE FRONT LEVELING JACKS HAVE ONLY 4 11/16 INCHES OF CLEARANCE WHEN PARKED ON FLAT LEVEL GROUND. THESE JACKS CONTACT THE ROADWAY AND SIDEWALKS THAT HAVE AN ELEVATION DEVIATION, SUCH AS DRIVING INTO GAS STATIONS OR SPEED BUMPS IN THE ROADWAY TRAVELING AT MINIMAL SPEED. EVEN SLIGHT ELEVATIONS IN THE ROAD CAN CAUSE THE FRONT JACKS TO MAKE CONTACT DUE TO THE LENGTHY WHEELBASE (248 IN). THESE CONTACTS HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO SIDEWALKS WHILE ENTERING GAS STATIONS AND CAUSED UNDUE ALARM FOR THE DRIVER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE MADE, NO ALTERNATIVES HAVE BEEN OFFERED. THEY TOLD ME THAT 4 1/2 INCHES CLEARANCE IS THE ACCEPTABLE TOLERANCE. THAT MAY BE ACCEPTABLE FOR A STANDARD PASSENGER CAR, BUT NOR FOR A VEHICLE WITH 248 IN WHEELBASE.
