I'm interested in one of these JT LVL-1 Level System
Does anyone have one? How do you like them, are they accurate or a timesaver?

Works well. And a lot cheaper.
I suppose that wireless job will work well too. But the real timesaver issue is Side To Side leveling. And the above link does that just as well. Just look in your rear view to see what is needed. Then drop a board down to bring one side up if needed. You need to do that with the wireless job too.
Once you have it level side to side, then unhitch and bring the front to back level to where it needs to be. Same procedure whether you have the hi tech or low tech unit. The unit in the link has a F2B level on it too. Neither is a timesaver over the other. But both are a timesaver over running in and out of the trailer to check a floor type level.

I have it on my 2010 Select Suites. I use it with the Level UP system to level the trailer. It works very well. However, if you want to save money, you can just buy 2 small levels at the RV section of Wal-Mart. My JT level came with the trailer. It is extremely accurate.

I have one. It works great, but like a lot of other gadgets I've bought, I don't use it that much. The old fashioned bubble level on the counter works just as well.

I have had one for about four years. It works as advertised and yes a couple of levels would do the same thing but what is life without gadgets. The "JT" does give reading in inches and degrees so you get a very good idea on how much adjustments you will need. The only negative that I have found is that if you don't remove the batteries from the sending unit, they do go dead after a few weeks of non-use.

Didn't they changed the sending unit to have a switch on it now so it wont go dead so fast ?

I must have an early model. Bought it in the fall of 08. No on/off switch.
