- Well that`s our 13th year & still loving it.
bottle jack
This is so simple, well if you are young and agile enough on a day when the weather is kind and the conditions are flat, safe and you have a solid grounding, we always carry a 1" thick x 12" square plywood base to sit the jack on.
We have an 8 ton bottle jack, bought from Screwfix, cost mmhh I`m thinking £24. jacks up to change the wheel on our Auto-trail Arapaho with ease.
One thing, don`t be kidded into the thought that you are are only jacking up a corner of your 4 ton motorhome, as you watch it going up in the air you will see you are lifting a whole more than just the area where the jack is so for the small extra cost get an 8 ton and be safe. :thumb:
