Levelling your caravan

We have a lock n level and think it a great bit of kit, I believe the company have sold thousands and never had an issue with deflating so used properly there is no problem. 

We haveuse ours alot in the past 12 months mainly more recently and it is so easy to use. I would recommend to anyone.

Oh and NO I don't sell them or have anything to do with the company just a very satisfied customer

Sounds good Kevin....and LOL! 

As a satisfied customer (and I ask this in a open way from a point of curiosity, not in any leading or derogatory way), if the van is on the device, do you notice any change in bounce in the centre of the van?

(I ask as I have a long van and get quite a bit of bounce in the centre of the van from the tyres and suspension already).

The van sits as solid on the bags as it does if on the ground.

I was a bit sceptical before I bought it but needed something to fit locks and have a jack in case of puncture. This does both those things and also levels if you want it to.

My scepticism was unfounded.

As I have posted before, I am another Lock 'n Level fan.  Mine has been in constant use for the last 18 months on our TA Barcelona. (I use it at home to fit the twin wheel locks as well as when away) and I haven't had a problem.  I am also aware that Derek at L 'n L has only had one unit fail since they started selling them and this, in his opinion, was probably due to misuse. I accept that there is a small chance of a puncture, thereby putting pressure on the steadies, but providing the transfer valve is closed, the chances of both sections failing at the same time is so minimal, it's not worth bothering about.

Since I have an AWD motor mover fitted, there is no other option for me to jack up the van as there simply isn't room to get a jack underneath the jacking points.  It's also far safer than using a jack, especially on soft ground.

Last year, I damaged a tyre and had to change the wheel.  With the van settled on the deflated tyre, there wasn't even room to get a jack under the chassis - let alone the jacking points - and the air bag was the only way I could jack the van.

No - I am not involved with the company - like many others - just another totally satisfied customer - both with the product and their service.

Always carry a few pieces of decking (I use them for levelling) and if you get a puncture just pull the flat tyre up on these and you will get your jack underneath OK. 

“The van sits as solid on the bags as it does if on the ground”.
This claim simply can't be true, the science does not allow it to be in that the ground is largely non compliant but air is compliant, the reason tyres are pneumatic. The bag/s has to add an amount of compliance to that already there from the tyre/s and suspension.
From all reports so far from users the van sits adequately firmly for them and the bag brings its own attributes, but lets keep claims for it to facts. Users clearly feel it is a good bit of kit.

I have used this technique more than once with good effect  on single axle vans. But with a twin it should be possible to use it to effect a wheel change without needing to jack at all, if the lift from the air bag as claimed achieves this? Pull or push the “good” wheel of the stricken pair up onto a ramp then it ought just as with the air bag provide adequate lift to change the punctured wheel.

Yes I do that when servicing my caravan and my goods trailers.

Another reason for having a twin axle.

That's fine if you can get at the jacking points, but because of my motor movers, I can't.  Now please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that you were only supposed to put a jack on the jacking points and not any other part of the chassis for fear of damaging it.
