Caravan Levelling Systems

• Manual levelling systems require placing levelling ramps under the wheels and adjusting the height using jacks.
• Automatic levelling systems use motorised legs or jacks that extend to level the caravan at the push of a button.

The right caravan levelling system depends on:

• The weight and size of your caravan.
• The manufacturer’s specifications to ensure compatibility.

Larger, heavier caravans may require stronger jacks or a hydraulic system for effective levelling.

• Manual systems are straightforward to install and require little setup.
• Automatic systems may need professional installation, as they involve electrical wiring and hydraulic components.

Yes, all levelling systems add some weight. Consider:

• The total weight of the system when calculating your caravan’s overall weight and tow ball mass.
• Whether the system fits within your payload limits.

• Ensure the system provides enough clearance to avoid scraping when driving on uneven or off-road terrain.
• If your caravan sits low, consider a compact levelling system designed for minimal impact on clearance.

Most caravan levelling systems work on a variety of surfaces, but:

• Avoid extremely soft ground, as jacks or ramps may sink.
• Use levelling pads for better stability on sand, gravel, or grass.

• Regularly inspect for any damage or wear.
• Lubricate moving parts as needed for smooth operation.
• For automatic systems, check electrical connections and hydraulic components.

There’s no specific ADR requirement for levelling systems, but:

• Ensure installation doesn’t interfere with mandatory lighting or vehicle requirements.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for safe and legal installation.
