I’m probably going to buy one and was wondering who has one and what can be recommended to me, hopefully it’ll never be needed but things crop up from time to time !! Many thanks.

Our last two caravans since returning to towing have been on Alko chassis with their own make side lift jack that fits in brackets bolted to the chassis, saves a lot of scrambling underneath as with other types of jack and fits even when tyre flat,and it works, as have had to use it lucky it was a near side flat tyre, would not attempt an offside tyre change on the road

Our Coachman came complete with a half scissor side lift jack. I tried it in the safety of my drive .... utter cr4p. It's now living somewhere in my garage.

I carried a small bottle jack supplemented by a selection of wood blocks when I had a caravan. Never had to use it on the road but performed perfectly when jacking up for the winter.
