ROCKING MH (1 Viewer)

[Allenaah]

As i'm mew to the MH world i decided to give my new MH a run out to Sunny Bournemouth and invited my youngest son (26) and his partner to join me,all went very well nice smooth journey and found nice spot to park MH,took them out for a nice meal and a few glasses beer and wine, then staggered back to MH,the sleeping arrangements had already been decide on, I would sleep over the Cab and the youngsters would sleep at the back giving them privacy ,when we got back i gave them 10mins to sort themselves out and pull the dividing curtain too and tuck themselves into bed,after finding the waterhole i staggered back to find the Privacy curtain close so obviously tucked up in bed,got myself sorted and up the ladder i went, as soon as I had dropped my head on the pillar out like shot,wine and beer best sleeping pills ever,not sure how long I was out for but MH started rocking like billy ho,i thought someone was breaking in,gingerly stuck my head out of the curtains ,nothing there,the movement appeared to come from the Back of the MH,then it suddenly dawned on me, I was young once,went back to bed and was rocked to sleep, although not as gently as i would have preferred if you get my gist,

How best to go about stabilising the MH

haven't you ever wondered why so many fit hydraulic levelers aftermarket when they are so expensive

 

[Allenaah]

I'm going to have to look into these,maybe best to put them up in the Travel lodge for the night next time

At about £5000 for hydraulic levelers it will be cheaper to put them up in the Travel Lodge either that or quietly explain that MH's rock

Just a thought,what about the Caravan Levellers they have at the back.has anyone modified these at all

Same thing but they are stabilizers, not levellers.
They aren't strong enough for levelling.

We where all young once But was never offered a bed in a motorhome, never did manage it in my E type jag

 

[Northernraider]

My motor homes 8.5 metres and even then the bed at the back isn't far enough from the one st the front to have sex in it with one of my parents in the same room lol

Some things are sacred lol

Buy an awning, stick 'em in that, if it's cold weather they will generate their own heat.

I'm not sure how true it is but I've heard on the grapevine that you get free membership to the UK Swingers Club for a year if you purchase an E&P levelling system.

My AutoSleeper Broadway had rear steadies made by Al-Ko. Never used them for levelling but they were very, very substantial. The van had an Al-Ko chassis as well but always used blocks. I think there may be some lack of clarity over “Steadies” and “levellers” here. Maybe Paul @Badknee could clarify

 

[Northernraider]

Mine has rear steadies fitted as standard despite being a tag axle and already very stable....they dont look like they have ever been used.

My van doesn't rock even in the severest of romantic engagements

Yes, levellers are usually hydraulic and should be able to physically lift one or two corners or even all four to attain a level platform.
Stabiliser are dropped and locked to stop the body rolling on the suspension. I have only seen them fitted on the rear of the Moho. We have a tag and haven't used them as yet as I don't think 30 seconds of passion warrants their use.

Come on AL finish the story off! Did you mention it to them the next day, by way of a hint? Any red faces or sniggers from either of them ? You now have sufficient ammunition to get one back on your son round any family/friends dinner table for the rest of your life.!!!
Or did you do as any professional Chauffeur to the rich & famous would do in these circumstances, and carry on as normal, saying nothing like Parker did in Thunderbirds but yus Me Lady

They should have positioned themselves 'fore and aft' - doubt if it would have moved then.
