Parking up at home

[Bunbun007]

Hello all, looking for some advice:

My 12/2 1978 caravan is currently parked on my driveway which is level. We will not be travelling for at least a year.
The left side tyre was damaged when moving the van to this position and is now completely flat/warped, leaving the van on a tilt. I am looking for a solution to level the van as it is still in use as a home office. For extra context it's total laiden weight is under 900kg. I have had suggestions such as wheel levels and static caravan axel stands as the tyre is difficult to replace. Would an axel stand be adequate for the time being? Any advice for how to level the van until I can replace the wheel would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Axle stand should be fine.

I use a couple of wooden blocks under each axle end plate - be wary of axle stands as they can sink into tarmac surfaces in long-term use (got the T-shirt!)

My cousin use to put axle stands on his twin axle hobby caravan that was on a seasonal pitch he had no problems

They won’t if you put some thick wood or HDPE ( plastic) chopping boards underneath.

It depends on whether you want to give the suspension a rest, or perhaps not concerned about that. Good old concrete blocks under the reinforced chassis section, just inboard of the wheel. Just jack it up and lower onto the blocks.

if i can remember i think my cousin put something under the axle stands like thick wood he did it for couple of years upgraded to a static at Bridlington .

As it sounds like a long term office I’d use breeze blocks under the chassis. Not bricks or thermal blocks. This will give the suspension a rest .
