Hey Lee! Yes, you can add the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Bluetooth Control # LC675817 to your 5th wheel. You will need to remove the existing hydraulic landing gear legs and replace them with the electric jacks that come with the Ground Control 3.0. A 5th wheel does not have to be prepped to use the system.
The 6-point system is designed to fit when there will be 20' or more between the center of the landing gear footpad and the center where you will mount the rear jack. If you find that distance is less than 20' you can use the 4-point # LC358590 instead. All of the information on mounting locations for the jacks can be found in the installation instructions attached below.
Any big trips planned with your 5th wheel before summer wraps up?

Thanks for the reply, however, I was really wanting to know if the electric system would integrate with my existing hydraulic front jacks. I don't want to give up my hydraulic front jacks, so I suppose I'll just keep using my Andersen Hitches leveling system. I can be level left to right, front to back in less than 10 minutes. It's kind of sad and I kick myself all the time for not saying yes when we ordered ours in 2016, when the dealer asked us if we wanted to add auto level. It would have only added about $3,500 to the price when it was ordered. Now, it'll cost $10,000 to add hydraulic level up to it! Really not worth the expense for something only used 6-10 times per year.
