It’s been a long time since I have used two levelling planks and 7 blocks to raise the front steadies and J W. This is a FSP at Honeybridge Dial Post Sussex. A couple of nights at Cousins post Covid bash. Took three wind ups of JW and steadies to achieve this height!42285CB6-1B87-446C-B9D6-19430AE96FBF.jpeg4110A24E-6D0F-4F7C-B1B4-330B12B3E29F.jpeg

Did you need a step ladder to enter and leave the van! Well done for getting it level. Hate pitches that are so sloping. Our van has rear grey water drain outlets; so especially difficult.

Mel, The O/S was two boards out of whack. The rear end where the axles are was ok but then going forward it dropped away dramatically. TBH , not acceptable today but hey ho serves the purpose for us. Just a reminder of what we grew up with !

DD, I have to say that is really not my idea of a pitch. I am sure its very nice there, but I expect a reasonably level pitch for my money.

.......we're behind the times here in Sussex!

Didn't the site provide you with a spade and pickaxe so you could do some levelling? ;)

Here for my cousins bash so ok for the weekend. Not one I will return to but it does have a licensed cafe and decent facilities on site. Very quiet.

Had to go to a slightly lower height at Wallinford a few years ago with, The Woosies, the motor mover kept slipping on one tyre, to get level laterally, so had to adjust that, got that sorted, then blocks under the JW, , and then to top off the pitching up, I put the awning up inside out.
I was pitched way too close to Dusty Dog, thankfully the local pub was 15 minutes away, for a much needed beer.

Looking at those photo remind me off a site and it was sloping where the site owner lend me some blocks because my jockey wheel and steadies was the nearly the same height as yours DD i was pleased when we were level again :)
