Posted on 22/11/2019 08:01 by CornersteadyI remember seeing someone on a site, and this must have been around 2000/01, an air jack on their caravan. It was a bag with a hose that went over their car's exhaust and as it inflated the bag lifted the caravan quite easily. Never seen one since. Are they still around?

I used to have one,it was ok unless you had a blowing exhaust or were unable to get the exhaust outlet near enough to the caravan.(I dumped it 2 years ago when moving house). I have seen mobile tyre fitters use an air jack that is supplied by a 12volt compressor but I believe they are quite expensive to buy!Back to the original query........single axle van....use the mover to align the receiver as there are very few occasions when the van can not be moved 2 or 3 inches.

My exhaust jack has a bung to deal with "twin exhausts" that are in effect two pipes out of the same box. It also has a Schrader valve to blow it up from a compressor - goes up quite well with the proper 12v compressor I use for the Land Rover.
These are widely used by people who take their vehicles off surfaced roads, and also by fire and rescue services.
