Hi all
when levelling the caravan should I drive the caravan forward or reverse on to the chock ?
Bit confused about the braking mesh of the caravan, I thought that you should reverse so as the brakes are working correctly, but I heard different.
Any help in this matter would be great
thanks Gary

I have and use
http://www.milenco.com/products/levelling/aluminium-leveller
I bought it off Gumtree, it was practically brand new.
I am kinda new to caravanning and I have tried different heights in planks, ramps and so on but the Milenco leveller will save you a lot of time and effort in terms of backwards and forwards.
Honest review... Fantastic bit of kit, easy to use too.

I'm considering the leveller. Does the van feel solid from inside on the Millenco?
I was thinking of using their Stacka blocks, having first jacked the van up. but I'd first need to buy Kojack or other. The price then is probably more than the Millenco leveller.
The only thing I won't be able to overcome, directly, with the leveller is aligning the alko wheel lock. Beginning to think the wheel lock is more trouble than it's worth !!

We bought a leveller. However, I do not like how it deforms the tyres. Because the contact pads are at an angle as the van is raised, they only support a very small section of tyre rubber. This leads to significant loading on the tyre wall. OK for a day or so, not so good if you are on site for a week or more. As CS says though, it does feel solid from inside.
