We were having a nosey around a Spanish campsite the other day and saw these pump up bags. The guy came out and gave a demo, Very impressive. Just wondered if anyone has experience of them??

Caravanners have used them for years. There is a company at the NEC show selling them. Though when asked, they told me their product was not strong enough for motorhome use.

Also doesn’t look as though it would provide much elevation?

Probably this crowd.
They are good if you've got a twin axle caravan and need to put on two wheel locks.

Just come off Flat-Jack's site, they have new model "Camper Plus" Max vehicle weight 7.5 tons. Elevation (the plus model) 12.5cm, Max tyre with 275mm. This guy said the firm suggest using a mat underneath if the ground has sharp stones.

It would be a lot of faffing about, but I know a lot of people who hate driving up ramps when they are on their own, so it might be a solution for them.

Tell them you are buying to review them in MotorhomeFun Magazine and that 35,000 motorhome enthusiasts will be hanging off every word you say about them. Might be worth a discount and the review would be most welcome :D

I´ve got one that inflates from the exhaust, bought it in case I have to change a wheel on soft ground. Tried it at home, works well as long as you clamp the hose to the exhaust with a jubilee clip.

They work well, caravaners use them, see lock and level.

They would of course work with a motorhome but ramps are cheaper and quicker.

Try these for size !!


Have used the bigger ones for uprighting trucks and recovering submerged boats !

Have never used levellers in motorhome, just got it reasonably right and not worried.
