Quad pump automatic leveling system for Class A gas motorhomes. 12,000 lb capacity per jack with 16" stroke and lifetime cylinder warranty.
The Bigfoot AQ-8A1 brings professional-grade automatic leveling to Class A gas motorhomes with the revolutionary quad pump design that has made Bigfoot the most trusted name in RV leveling systems. Built specifically for Ford F53, Freightliner M2, Chevrolet Kodiak 5500, and universal Class A gas chassis under 24,000 lbs, this system eliminates the frustration of manual leveling with simple one-touch operation that gets you level in 90-120 seconds.
What sets the AQ-8A1 apart is the quad pump architecture—four individual marine-grade power units, one at each corner, instead of a single overworked central pump. Each unit operates only 25% of the time compared to traditional systems, delivering nearly four times the pump life expectancy. Every QEI-16 cylinder is machined at Quadra's Michigan facility, hand-assembled by skilled technicians, and 100% leak tested before shipment. The weatherproof steel housings allow the power units to be mounted outside in the elements, freeing up valuable storage space inside your coach. With 12,000 lb capacity per jack, 16" of stroke, and massive 100 square inch Bigfoot pads, this system handles even the most challenging terrain with confidence.
