We definitely have options for that, Joe!

The Lippert Ground Control 3.0 you asked this question from is actually what I would recommend. If is featured in a bunch of OEM set ups and is by far the best one on the market. It can handle campers with a GVWR up to 15,500 lbs so you would be covered with what you are looking for, trailer wise. The only thing to consider would be the length. See the picture I included and you will see what I mean.

Once you have that, you are good to go! Odds are you will want to go with the 4 point set, but figured it would be a good idea to mention it.

What will you be towing your future camper with?

@JoeK Oh shoot! I got a bit too focused on the auto leveling and weight parts and forgot you said bumper pull. I have heard people installing the Ground Control 3.0 on travel trailers, but it was a bit of work and they needed to do some custom fabrication for it. We do have the Lippert Electric Ground Control TT # LC672136 that is specifically designed for travel trailers and has the auto levelling feature. However, it is rated up to 10,000 pounds and this is the highest rated option we have with auto levelling . If you go with a heavier trailer, you would lose that feature, unfortunately. Sorry about my first response.

@LazerS No need for apology. I typically write long questions and it's easy to miss some details. Auto level would be nice. I will check into the Ground Control TT option you mentioned. in brief tho it still provides leveling just more manual? I am hoping to avoid the drive up one side tires onto something to try to get it level side to side and use just the tongue jack to level front to back and then put down the stabilizers. if the Ground Control is better than that I would be happy to try it even if it is not fully automated. Additionally the 10,000 is the travel trailer weight plus water, food, people that are in it, not the side by side weight that would be outside to trailer before it's leveled. so as long as the trailer/contents minus the side by side is 10000 or less I can use the auto one correct?

@JoeK The Lippert Electric Ground Control TT # LC672136 does still have the auto levelling feature and I have heard it works pretty well. What I mean was that if you go with anything heavier than 10,000 pounds for the trailer, you would need to go with a manual levelling set up (like 4 separate electric jacks or something). The 10,000 pound capacity is also the total weight of everything combined. So as long as everything loaded up is 10,000 or less, you are indeed good to go.
