Self Levelling a Caravan

[German in the blood]

Has anyone had fitted a self levelling system other than E&P, I've been looking into this but not found anyone trying a different make.
I have read that some of you with this system do have a few problems from time to time.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

No personal experience of owning/using such a system but have seen it in use.
My big concern with this type of system is the huge chunk it takes out of an already low payload.

 

[Mr Plodd]

I have always viewed automatic caravan levelling systems as a very expensive solution to a problem that doesn't actually exist! Plus I concur with Mr Grumpy re weight.
Others clearly feel differently.

Yes I get what you mean, We haven't got a motor mover as we seem to manage without one. Did think about buying those axle stands which static's use to make it more stable when on a pitch.

Stability shouldn’t be a problem as between your wheels, jockey wheel and four corner steadies there’s not an issue. All you might have to do is adjust the steadies as the caravan “settles” a bit on some pitches.

It's hard to credit the "hassle" of fitting, then removing axle stands, plus the hassle & extra weight associated with transporting them, warrants their usefulness, on anything less than a long winter's static deployment.

If anything has been learnt in near 50 years of touring caravanning it is try to de-hassle it!
Then I realise and accept there are those that get the bulk of their caravanning pleasure from the gadgetry they can accumulate and deploy.
Plus of course others, whilst caravanners are not "touring" caravanners.
As some would tell us correctly, "To Each His Own...."
