it takes some doing to leave them behind

No I'll find that quite easy

 

[John and Jo]

We almost always use levels ...rarely is it that flat.

Yep , that would be part of the reason for getting them ...plus those milencos take up a lot of space.

Have them fitted to our van and they are excellent but they are not infalable, they won't auto level if the pitch is too sloping.
Although the fitter did use them (pour securite) on the hard shoulder after our blowout on the way back from Italy last week end.

@Lenny HB

Go for a different approach, our Hymer (I know you don't have one, but) moved around a lot particularly when I bounced in and out off the poor old extending (springboard) step

Need to go to Spec Savers David, take a look at my avatar, only ever had Hymers.

I went to Durness last January and endured 80mph winds, (fairly extreme I know) but was nearly sea / motion sick

Our van has a fairly long overhang and rocks at the slightest movement, also on our recent trip spent the night on top of a mountain in gale force winds van rocking all over the place, last van on one mountain had to get up at 2am to move the van to face the wind it was rocking so badly, all part of the adventure.

Definitely one of the best accessories for your van - love mine.

 

[Robert Clark]

@Robert Clark,
As we have almost the same van, do you mind me asking who fitted yours and where did you have the motor and control panel fitted?
It would seem sensible to go to someone who has experience of fitting to the same van.

Richard.

Hi Richard
We had ours fitted by Rosmia in Sussex, who are the local installers.
Our van is RHD and the control panel is fitted on the passenger side, see pic below.
We don't use the control panel - instead we use the remote control which I located by the drivers side storage unit
The motor is located by the water pump.
The remote control was free

Hope this helps

we were initially told to use them in auto all the time, Mick himself now suggests manual is a better option a lot of the time. We have had a lot of alarms due 'too uneven ground' even when it didn't really seem so. Now go for manual when I think there will be any doubt

Also in auto Mick says they lift higher than actually needed, we have had wheels right off the ground on our own drive which is not absolutely level but not far off

What do you do then ...manual and spiritual level?

It needs more than spec savers, I was replying to Clarky or trying to at least

There is no hope, but I will be PMing you ref headlight protectors

There is also a useful setting for tilting your van to one side when emptying your waste tank

 

[John and Jo]

Robert, would you recommend Rosmia ?

Robert, would you recommend Rosmia ?

Yes certainly. They charged what they quoted and the installation looks to have been done very professionally - don't forget to ask for the free remote control

 

[John and Jo]

I will enquire with them thanks. They would be most local to me.

 

[DavidG58]

that is good, I opted for the remote option, but I am sure I either paid more or negotiated it into the price

Also in auto Mick says they lift higher than actually needed, we have had wheels right off the ground on our own drive which is not absolutely level but not far off

I have only ever used mine in auto mode except one occasion when there was too much of a slope, but I will admit that the auto option does occasionally lift all the wheels of the ground when in manual mode there would be no real need to do so.

I can find the most level pitch ever created but if her fridge door dares to open or close unaided then it ain't level and I have to do something about it, wouldn't go back to my Millenco levelers now.

By the way I used Conrad Anderson in B'ham and would recommend them to anyone.

Q?
Does anyone ignore the user procedure and just press auto while sat in the cab.
I can't imagine me getting out especially if raining etc

I really cant see why you should get out, possibly best not to move around as that might affect the levelling maybe, but even if not raining, why get out?
