How to Level a Caravan
To level a caravan, follow these steps:
- Park on Level Ground: Whenever possible, choose a flat surface to park your caravan.
- Use a Leveling Tool: Use an app (like Oricom Auto) on your smartphone to check the alignment, or take a manual reading from a spirit level.
- Adjust with Levellers: If your caravan is not level, place levellers under the wheels on the low side until the caravan is even.
- Check Again: Once the levellers are in place, double-check with the level tool to ensure your caravan is perfectly balanced.
How to Level a Dual Axle Caravan
Leveling a dual axle caravan involves similar steps:
- Position the Caravan: Park your dual axle caravan on flat ground if possible.
- Measure the Level: Use a leveling tool to assess the side-to-side and front-to-back level.
- Use Levelling Devices: Place caravan levellers or ramps under the wheels that need elevation, ensuring both axles are balanced.
- Recheck the Level: Once the levellers are placed, check the level again to confirm stability.
How to Use Caravan Levellers
Using caravan levellers is straightforward:
- Position the Levellers: Align the levellers behind or in front of the wheels on the low side of the caravan.
- Drive Up Slowly: Carefully drive your caravan onto the levellers until the vehicle is level.
- Secure the Caravan: Once level, engage the handbrake and ensure the caravan is stable before entering.
- Remove the Levellers: After setup, you can remove the levellers and store them until needed again.
How to Use Caravan Levelling Ramps
To use caravan levelling ramps:
- Select the Right Ramp: Choose ramps that are suitable for your caravan’s weight and height adjustment needs.
- Position the Ramps: Place the ramps in front of the wheels on the low side.
- Drive Onto the Ramps: Slowly drive the caravan onto the ramps until it reaches the desired level.
- Ensure Stability: Once level, apply the handbrake and check the stability of the caravan before use.
How to Level a Caravan on a Hill/Slope
Leveling a caravan on a hill or slope requires extra caution:
- Use Levellers: Place levellers or ramps under the wheels on the lower side to achieve level ground.
- Check Stability: After leveling, ensure the caravan is stable and secured with wheel chocks.
- Reassess if Necessary: If the caravan feels unstable, adjust the levellers or move to a flatter location.
