Twin wheel with motor movers no jacking point

[JB1]

Hi to all, I have just helped move my sisters twin wheel Caravan which has twin motor movers, I went to fit the Alco wheel locks and of course one of the wheels I can line up with the receiver and the second is not in line. So I got the Alco jack out of the caravan to find there is no jacking point. A quick Google and a couple of answers said that if Twin moves are fitted then there is nowhere to fit the jacking receiver.? I had to go and collect a bottle Jack to Jack up the axle which I was also advised on Google to Jack on the plate that connects the axle to the chassis as this is the strongest point. Got the real lined up and fitted the Alco wheel lock. I just wanted to check this is correct.. please let me know your comments. The Caravan is a Bailey.Alicanto with an alco chassis. Many thanks

Yes the second axle mover fouls where the jacking point would be so bottle jack under axle is the answer. This is also a reason why many people fit the Alko on one wheel and a Nemisis or Wraith on the other then no lining up problem

Halfords 2 ton bottle jack £17.60. or 4 ton £22.40 . I carry mine for the car and van.

Have a look at the loc'n'level adverts it seems the easiest way to lift wheels on twin axle either as a pair or a single as you would need to remove a wheel with a flat tyre. Or in your case to fit wheel lock
Fantastic piece of kit, no jacks required and used for leveling your van when on site.

Lock n Level is the answer for a twin axle. OH did the fitting of the ALKO locks no issue.

Although I have a small two berth I use either a small bottle jack on the two holed jacking points,if I wanted to lift it with a punctured tyre I would use a trolley jack placed on the axle to chassis plate,(it has four large bolts showing)
