Whilst away in spain we were put on a pitch that had quite a serious slope. We were unable to drive in head first or reverse because the pitch was broad as opposed to long (if you get my drift).
Anyway, we had to chock up on the two offfside wheels on milenco triple up chocks. It's a 4500kg van by the way.
Whilst walking about in the van we noticed an awful grinding noise coming from the lifted side so we got off the chocks, realigned and tried again. All seemed ok at first but then when I got up during the night this grinding noise was awful. We tried unsuccessfully to ramp up a few times without succes, each time the noise becoming worse. (We also lost everything in the freezer as it caused it to stop working). We eventually moved to a more level pitch, just chocking up on the driver wheel only.
Anyway, after this we developed a fault with the loo leaking into the garage and the bathroom of the van, soaking the carpet. This has happened a few times since. The flap that goes in front of the toilet cassette to hide it has also gone out of line.
Even now, parked on the flat , the chassis still makes a clunking, grinding noise. So what i want to know is, can an alko chassis be damaged by extreme levelling?
