Levelling Your Caravan



Once you have parked on your pitch you will need to level out your caravan otherwise you will be forever cleaning water from the shower or draining board, or your children (or yourself) may even fall out of bed!!

You can buy a caravan leveller which you drive your caravan on to, to level it off on sloping ground. When you buy caravan levellers you normally get wheel chocks as well, which are put under your caravan's wheels to stop it rolling away.

You could always make your own levelling blocks out of wood or blocks, but ensure that the wood you use is good quality.

Below we list some tips for levelling your caravan and pitching it on a slope:

  • When pitching on a slope, try to site the caravan with its front facing downhill which will make it much easier when removing the ramp if the grass becomes boggy.

  • Put the levelling ramp in front of (or behind) the wheel. Use your towcar to manouvre the caravan wheel up the ramp until the caravan is level. Try to have someone else watching the spirit level and to guide you.

  • Pull on the caravan handbrake fully.

  • Place another wheel chock behind (or in front of) the wheel on the other side.

  • A very good tip is to have a piece of string or rope attached to each chock. This will ensure you are able to remove it without getting your hands too near the moving wheel.
