I had Bigfoot leveling system installed in Florida and must say, money well spent. Great people to work with, very accommodating , stayed on property overnight for install next am.

I've had both Bigfoot/Quadra and HWH on two different motorhomes.  Neither is absolutely bullet proof; I had issues with both systems from time to time.

I went to the factory in White Pigeon, & concur with everything Molly said, except that I did not stay on site overnight (I drove through from MO & headed back as soon as they were done).  I bought my rig in December '13 & there was a special offered into January '14.  I didn't want to drive to Michigan that time of year, but they let me send them a check & schedule installation in March. 

I apparently developed a leak on the way back (noticed a spot on the driveway the morning after I got home).  I called the factory & they told me to find someone who worked on hydraulic systems; a couple of farmer friends recommended a precision ag place in our little burg.  I called David & he was able to come to my driveway (convenient for me, & he could quickly see right where the drip was); he called the factory, they authorized the work (he tightened a connection & topped off the reservoir), he sent in his bill, & we've all lived happily ever after.  I've had no issues since, but this experience made me feel confident about factory support if something happens in the future.

As a solo I don't have someone else to help with guiding onto leveling blocks; I'm sure I could learn to do it on my own, but I love not having to get out in rain/snow/dark of night--just push a button & & watch the level bubbles.  Also, the feet provide stability so there's less movement of the rig--I don't put the feet down when stopping for a quick meal or driving break, & a few times I've pulled into a place for the night where the level bubbles were amazingly spot on; when sitting in a chair in the front, I could feel the 20# dog jump off the bed in the back, & I've also felt the wind give a little push a few times, so I put the feet down whenever I'm stopped for the night or longer.

I’ve had Big foot jacks installed on both of my LD, and my present SOB, couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t be without. I had swing down HWH on a small class A, they were kinda problematic.
