Whilst looking online to see what else was available I stumbled across an Australian website

Still got the link ?

I can’t remember the exact website but try wwwdownundercamping.com.au
They’ve got a similar Explore 2 piece 3 step levelling ramp.
I think the one I originally found came with more pieces, perhaps a big brother model.

I’ve always struggled to find a big enough leveller with a decent flat step so the tyre is not half on half off and bulging. The Lego style build your own is a great idea, pity you can’t get them here.

@andy63 has some crackers but I think he more uses them at home to work n his van rather than lug about.

You can get inflatable ones. You drive over the bag, which is about 18" by 10" from memory then with an electric tyre inflator pump them up to the required height.
I've seen them used a couple of times recently but they are not cheap. Sorry, can't remember their name.

Edit: here they are.

I just think the best solution is to not use levellers. Instead get a taller, larger wine glass and only half fill it so it doesn't spill

Mine’s jus air... in the form of a bubble...

Just like mine.

Fine adjustment - repeat as required.

... just let your tyres down a bit instead on the 'high' side ...

A mixture of items required on last trip out, on an uneven pitch!!

 

[bigalw35]

I prefer the stepped ones so you don't have to pull the handbrake up to the ceiling

I have four of the stepped ones, but our Moho is 4600kg, so unless I use chocks or the handbrake it just rolls off

 

[bigalw35]

I knew someone would bring up the hydraulic legs sooner or later - the next van for sure but don't want to spend that much on this van.

We were at the Moho show at the nec 2017, and for our 4600 kg Hymer £6’000.00, sadly not viable

Mine are buried in the locker somewhere. I made them out of 2 pieces of timber about 8x2 one longer than the other, so it bumps up twice and I can feel which level I'm on.

I screwed them together then drilled loads of 20mm holes through them to reduce weight. They look a right abortion but work very well... And they float as we found out in Benidorm one day (La Torreta floods)

When we went to NZ I went to a timber yard and got them to cut me 2 ramps out of local wood. I was asked so many questions about them during our tour, they hadn't caught on at that time. The last day we gave away all the bits and pieces including the ramps. The old boy we gave them to was so happy to have them, you'd have thought they were gold plated.

You could level that with a matchstick.

Just found this, don’t know if they sell these in the UK.

A hybrid effort; adjustable too!

I’ve wrecked two sets of Milencos, wouldn’t buy them again, but haven’t actually found anything better yet !

Ditto.

Colin has a design in progress. If he ever starts making them I will post pics.

Not mine but I thought it looked cute (may be a caravan though?)

Have to confess it took me a minute or two to work out what I was looking at.
Taken at Bath Marina about 4 years ago where he was among friends. Quack.

... just let your tyres down a bit instead on the 'high' side ...

We stayed at Bath Chew Valley last year and they had just renewed the gravel on some of the pitches. The gravel was six or seven inches deep and so using ramps was a bit dodgy. I dug out two holes so that the near-side wheels would drop in and make the moho level. While we were out for the day an inspector called and was seen by our neighbour. "They're digging in for an invasion" he cried. The owners were not impressed.

I have a couple of these in the garage and some blocks of wood. You can make whatever height you need. Also useful on boggy ground. Mine are 300mm wide and 900mm long so very easy to drive up even if its muddy.

Where did you purchase the green grid matting - looks quite sturdy ?
