E&P Hydraulic Levelling

It is hardly the primary reason you would buy a levelling system CY.

Plus, finding the cheapest solution isn’t my primary consideration - but finding the best, is.

You may  already know but I thought I’d mention there is a member offer of 

Free footplate covers worth £150 on all new installations of E&P Hydraulic Levelling systems.

I don’t know what that is but you may find the offer useful !

Haven't a clue what they are, either - but have asked E&P to enlighten me! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Very true CY but non of them can automatically level the vehicle/caravan or jack it up.

Google E+P footpads, and you will see they appear to be bolt on pads which apparently make the pads bigger.

I use four pieces of wood about 18 iinches long and 1 inch thick placed under the jacks to spred the load when necessary. They are mostly used on grass pitches.

Granted that would be the first choice, but as the Poster wants to avoid kneeling and as they are presently free, they would appear to be a benefit.

My previous post was incorrect regards google. It should have been E&P Footplate Cover. The Blurb is as follows for info.

Perhaps the Club could arrange a discount for members who have already had a levelling system fitted to purchase the covers, as they are suitable for all systems it is claimed below. 

Special for E&P Hydraulics Caravan Levelsystem

Increase the surface of your Caravan footplate cylinders by more than 60%
Highly recommended for heavier and tandem axle caravans.

This set consists of two stainless steel foot plates of 230 mm instead of the standard 180 mm plates and 2 foot plate covers that once again increase the surface area to 270 mm in diameter. These come with mounting material.
Note that if you change it yourself, you must use Loctite to secure the bolts. Loctite is not included, so this change can be easily done by your dealer. You can of course also contact us for a dealer in the area.

The Footplatecover made of fiberglass plastic can be applied to the stainless steel or steel galvanized foot plates of the hydraulic level system for motorhomes and caravans.

The Footplatecover has been developed for all brands of level systems on the European market.
The Footplatecover serves as a surface enlarger, for more stability and protection against damage.
Special about this plate is that it is permanently attached but can also be removed if desired.

Permanent.

Quickly assembled and no longer bent to place shelves under your cylinders if you want to use your level system.
The Footplatecovers remain mounted to your cylinder plates the entire holiday.

More stability on all surfaces.

Mud, grass, gravel, concrete, sand, pebbles, more comfort due to a larger surface. More stability during storms and gusts.
Thanks to the studded pattern, you will not slip away from snow and sleet.
Due to extremely hot temperatures you will not sink through the asphalt.
The feetpad cover is UV resistant.

Easy assembly.

Installation is easy with the supplied tools and description.
You attach the permanent Footplatecover with six bolts and nuts.

Crash protection.

The Footplatecover protects your precious cylinder against crushed stone but also on rough terrain.
Permanent Footplatecover can take a beating.

Light weight.

You leave the heavier wooden planks at home and screw the much lighter plastic feetpad covers onto your cylinders.
Another advantage is that you don't have to store those dirty wooden boards in your camper.
Make it easy for yourself, never kneel down again, relax on holiday.

Permanent FootplateCover is patented by Mees outdoor.
produced in the Netherlands and is of high quality and extensively tested under all circumstances.

It says they are stainless steel and then further along say they are plastic. confused.com. 

Not really.

The original 180mm dia stainless plate is replaced by a 230mm stainless plate then covered with a 270mm fibreglass cover.

Suggest you google E&P footplate cover for a pic

Thanks for the info BM.  I've emailed SAP in Doncaster who are doing our installation (eventually) to see if they are participating in this deal.  It all seems a bit hit and miss to me with the CAMC offer saying, essentially, that participation is at the discretion of the dealer.
