Auto Levelling Footplate Covers

[stevewagner]

Bought and fitted a set of footplate covers to the auto levelling today. They increase the surface area considerably which is particularly useful on softer ground.

royw , as your profile says your in France then this supplier would likely suit you best. https://www.meesoutdoorshop.nl/en_GB/c-5165676/footplatecover-camper/

and Carpmart , they are available here, providing your levellers are E&P.

I bought a set of these whilst in Germany collecting the new van, they add a few inches onto the height and very easy to fit. You basically sit them under the ram then lower the ram down onto them and they snap onto the foot of the ram, no way are they coming back off easily. They appear a bit more rugged than the ones being offered by Dometic, these are constructed from old tyres so sit better on uneven surfaces. You need the 9" ones for the E&P rams

I’ve had a bit of a Google this morning and now gone for a set of these recessed 4T per pad ones...

I just knocked these up in the shed work well had some 310mm dia X 50mm thk nylon lying about.

I was thinking about making some out of polymorph, I made a number of jacking points for the Touarge which have been invaluable. If anyone has not played with this then do take a look. I just need to make some moulds.

Won’t they melt with a bit of sun on the pads!

I’m of course joking, love polymorph.

Its an amazing material, joking aside its like 62 degrees melting point so no levelling in the Sahara

Do the screws stick out above the rubber if so I would shorten them as this will be put all the load on those 3 points when on a hard surface.

I love the stuff. But I don't think it is suitable for this purpose. Would cost a fortune.

I would look for HDPE sheet on ebay... High Density Polyethylene is extremely tough and dirt cheap.

I always carry a bag on the MH, you never know when it might get you out of trouble.

So in my caravanning days I came to wind up the jockey wheel, snapped in my hand 10 mins later with a coffee and my bag of polymorph one replaced handle, love the stuff.

As you have already spotted I got them from Mees in Holland 128 Euros including delivery. Somewhat cheaper than E&P.

I’ve just fitted a set today and also obtained them from Mees in Holland. Price hasn’t increased by much as they were €133 including delivery (£114.10 on the Halifax Clarity card) and no vat payable on import

I wonder if they would fit HPC foot plates as well ?

 

[Wee Bold Davy]

I simply carry 4 squares of 11mm thick osb board and lower the plates onto them. Our van sits on them on our concrete driveway during the winter when it's not in use and has done for 5 years. Cost me nothing and does the job ever bit as well

Mine were Free with a offer from CMC club, when I had my E&P leveling system fitted

It must be a permanent fitting to the leg, otherwise you loose smugness points getting out to position them, like a set of ramps.
