Semi-automatic leveling for Chevy 3500/4500 Class C motorhomes. Stabilizes in ~30 seconds, then you fine-tune with bubble level. 8,000 lb per jack, 13" stroke, central pump, lifetime cylinder warranty.
The Bigfoot PC-C45001 Platinum is a semi-automatic central pump hydraulic leveling system designed specifically for Chevrolet 3500 and 4500 Class C motorhomes. The Platinum delivers a balanced approach between full automation and hands-on control: press one button and all four cylinders automatically extend, make ground contact, and stabilize the entire vehicle in just over 30 seconds — then you take over, using a bubble level or leveling device to fine-tune each corner individually or in pairs until perfectly level. This two-step process gives you automation for the heavy lifting and precision control for final leveling.
Unlike fully automatic systems that handle everything for you, the Platinum puts final leveling in your hands — ideal for experienced RVers who prefer to verify level with their own eyes and trust their own judgment. A single central hydraulic power unit mounts outside the coach to preserve interior storage. Four powder-coated 8,000 lb QEI-13 cylinders with 13" stroke are machined at Quadra's White Pigeon, Michigan facility and carry a lifetime warranty. The all-up safety feature signals if any cylinder is not fully retracted before driving, and 100 square inch Bigfoot pads provide secure ground contact. The PC-C45001 is chassis-specific engineering for Chevy 3500/4500 owners who want fast stabilization with hands-on final control, built entirely in America.

QEI-13 cylinders (8,000 lb each) machined in Michigan with lifetime warranty
The PC-C45001 Platinum operates differently from a fully automatic leveling system. Understanding this two-step process is important before purchasing: Step 1 — Automatic Stabilization (Press a Button): Press the deploy button and all four cylinders automatically extend, make ground contact, and stabilize the vehicle. This takes approximately 30 seconds and requires no user involvement. Front and rear are brought level with each other. Step 2 — Manual Fine-Leveling (User Controlled): Using a bubble level or leveling device, check the coach's level plane. Then use the control panel to operate cylinders individually or in pairs (on-the-fly adjustment) to raise or lower each corner until perfectly level. The system responds quickly for precise adjustment. Important — No Inclinometer: This system does NOT have an inclinometer and does NOT automatically read or level to a true level plane. It will not self-level like the AKC-C45001 fully automatic system. A bubble level or other leveling aid is required for precise final leveling. Best For: Owners who want automation for stabilization but prefer hands-on control for final leveling.

Both systems share identical hardware for the Chevy 3500/4500 chassis. The key difference is how much of the leveling process is automated:
Both systems use identical central pump architecture and QEI-13 cylinders on the same Chevy 3500/4500 chassis. The Platinum is ideal for owners who prefer hands-on precision and don't mind checking a bubble level; the AKC-C45001 is for those who want to press one button and walk away fully leveled. Questions?
