Preferred method of levelling your caravan.

[Jaydug]

Some people obviously don't mind living on a floor which is off-level. See the angle of the motor van in my picture! For me, it would drive me crackers. I need the floor level. My practice is to reverse onto the pitch, quickly check for level across the axle on the drawer unit just inside the caravan door, then if one side requires lifting, place a yellow ramp behind the wheel and reverse up the ramp. Place a block to the front of the wheel and I unhitch the van. Fore and aft level is done on the jockey wheel using a level against a moulding strip on the van.

Another Plus vote for Lock'Level. So easy to use.

Been using the same pair of yellow ramps with accompanying chocks for around 25 years and they're still as good as new. Also no worries about getting a puncture when using on gravel

I've taken a serious look at the Lock n' Level and whilst I agree it looks easier to line up the Alko locks using them but I just cannot justify paying all that money to replace something that has served us well for so many years.

Thank for the offer , i think I prefer the jacking unit to ramps, thanks anyway

JB1, it is the jacking unit .

We use decking board on our twin axle just cut the length you need and put an angle cut one end and a block of wood on top the other end stops you rolling off should get enough lengths out of one piece to raise you up enough .

I have a single axle and have been using 1 or 2 yellow ramps and chocks for as long as I can remember but, for the past 5 years when the slope, occasionally, is too much for them, I use Lock n' Level.

Well thanks to Hutch’s kind offer I now have a Milenco Aluminium levelling system as well as my collection of planks, , I will give it a try very soon and report back how I got on. I just thought it would be better/ easier than trying to reverse up a damp grass slope and up a levelling ramp.
