Must admit I am too lazy to dig them out. I try to choose the most level I can get to save mum complaining the water isnt running away properly.
Unless the slope is bad then why bother.

Just need to remember, If running your Fridge/Freezer on "Gas" and you are not within a few degree`s of being level...

Your Fridge/Freezer will not work to correctly and you are likely to end up with a soot ball in the chimney which could drop off and block your jet... :Eeek:

Just saying, like... :nod: :nod:

Caravaning since 1974 - Motorhoming since 2003
Dunlop Air Assisted Suspension fitted, pump it up or let it down always level.
We do have Milenco Quattro and they will take ours rated at 3850 kg so if the slope is really bad we use them.
What you have to do is make sure OH knows you want to start to climb the next level higher than needed then roll back into the dip on the level you want when applying handbrake.

between those who frequently "wild camp" and perhaps those who use more established MH parking.

To my mind, "off-site" motorhoming is the "more established" way of doing it.

People were overnighting in their campervans in laybys and out of the way places long before these aire thingies and campsites started springing up... ;)

Think there might have been a few campsites about before motorhomes were even thought about.......remember tents :)

More than toes wet now!
Again?????? It is one of my fears that I will overshoot as I usually drive the van onto the ramps.

You can affix an upstand onto the front of the ramp that will assist in not overshooting the top \ end.


I'm not sure what the Milenco 4 tier ramps have as a rating... our van is 3.5tonnes max and is usually around 3.2. I wouldn't use them with a heavier van :)

2000kg per wheel.
