Question:

Have you had any feedback from any DYI folks on the installation of this unit? If so, how long did the install take?

We haven't heard back on the install of the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 part # LC358590 that you referenced from our customers, but the install is pretty straight forward.

The 2 landing gear jacks mount to existing points on your RV and secure with included hardware. The 2 rear jacks come with mounting brackets that bolt onto 8", 10", or 12" I-beam frames with included hardware. Mounting the rear jacks does require drilling. A sensor is also included for the rear jacks. This will be mounted on a crossmember near the rear jacks.

The control module for the system mounts in a compartment under the coach with included hardware. This module has a wiring harness that connects directly to your 12-volt battery. Wiring harnesses are also included that connect the jack motors, rear sensor, and the touchpad to the control module.

If you have access to basic tools and have a decent mechanical skill set you should have no problem installing this in an afternoon depending on how fast you work.
