Retro-fitting corner steadies (1 Viewer)

[Andy Bramhall]

Does anyone know how easy/cheap it is to do this?

We have a 2007 N-B Arto 69EGB which is on a Fiat Ducato base.

Is this a straightforward job? Does the chassis have designated fitting-points.

Many thanks,

Andy

Have them on my van ,maybe put them down maybe 3 times in the last year. Do you really need them ?

I think there's a set on here for sale for £100 IIRC.

If you have an Alko chassis there will be a set of holes that will be suitable. The set that came off my van (when I had E&P jacks fitted) fitted my friend's van perfectly.

Thanks. We camp with our three kids who all move a lot in bed in the night. First night ever in the camper was like being at sea!
Once we had given out some orders to lie still in bed it was better - but corner steadies would definitely help.

What are E & P jacks?

EP jacks are a big job and they will cost you around 5K

If you have EP fitted you won't regret it.

Interested in this topic too. I have 1 x drop down corner steady near the step but see the wind out (caravan style) very often. Look easy enough to fit but do wonder if we'd ever use them and they'd become another "thing" on the van.....

Had a look today and our chassis is AL-KO low frame - with really obvious holes pre-drilled at the back.

But I can't see anything at the front that would take a corner steady - except perhaps what look like the two jacking points.
Do you think our chassis is only designed to take a couple of steadies at the back?

The alko steadies are only fitted to the rear. A 5 minute job to fit

Our Adria had corner steadies fitted as standard when built. They are only at the back and do make a big difference to van movement when used. Especially at windy locations and in winter weather. I am thinking of fitting some to our Suntor if it's possible. We're in it at Blackpool at the moment and the wind has been rocking us quite a bit the last 24 hours or so.
