Hi, we took the decision and had that system installed on our Coachman 2 years ago. Best thing ever. Personally I would always do the axle jacks first and then the steadies. Being a single axle , auto mode is the norm, once used to the van having to be in nose down attitude to start. With the motor mover and EP leveller, life is so much easier. Now researching an automatic hitcher upper 😉. Thanks for the video. Regards Nick
Nick thanks for the single axel input & if you come across a auto "hitcher upper" COUNT ME IN
Good detailed explanation 👍🏻
Thank you for watching -the pros are very good but it’s just what we’ve found
That’s a good video. But I will be staying with the winding spannery handle thingy! So far, touch wood, our pitches have more or less all been level.
Thanks for posting, very good explanation video!
Good call!
Nice VLOG guys but !!! surely you don't level the caravan with the steadies as if you do it can cause damage to the floor. They are not bolted to the chassis but the wooden floor. They are only there to "Steady" the caravan once it is level using the jockey wheel for front to back and blocks or lock n level or similar for side to side. Nick T.
The front & rear operate as a pair & not individually. It’s only the centre ones that are independent & fixed to the chassis.
first job I did was to disconnect the beeper for that very reason, drop the box off underneath (no warranty seals) & unplug the beeper,
Haha thanks for the hint
Another very good & interesting vlog. These levelling systems really are the future, especially on larger 'vans.
We agree!
CAMC insisted on alko wheel lock so I'm insured with hitch lock only. Cost about £50 more, but well worth it. Still use nemesis ultra wheel lock, but no longer accepted by CAMC.
Thanks for sharing that info - nice one
Very informative, thanks for sharing. Certainly something I'd love to get fitted. I've upgraded the weight plate on the Challenger, so I have the payload. It's just finding the cash :-) I've dropped a few hints to E&P, but they don't seem interested - maybe if I get 30k subs lol. That beeping is annoying isn't it, I guess it's health and safety. You could probably lower the volume by a strategically placed piece of cotton wool :-)
Thanks for watching & I know took me a few years to bite the bullet but yes that beeping>……
Thanks for another great an informative vlog👍🏻 We have be toying the idea but are still unsure, one of the burning questions I have is does it make your caravan more steady during usage i.e currently it doesn't matter how steady we think it is on solid a ground pitch or grass pitch with blocks of wood to help, the caravan still tends to move/shake whilst walking from front to back ever so slightly but we can feel it and also during high winds it shakes and moves. Will this investment prevent this from happening or in your experience does this still happen. Once you've invested in putting it on one caravan, if you decided to change your caravan any what the cost would be to take it off and put on the new caravan. Thanks regards Emyr.👍🏻
Thanks for watching Emyr🤗 We had the same feeling so when we moved from a single to a twin & with the “6” version I can say YES as there is no bounce from the tyres, swaying or walking from 1 end to the other. As for the other q, I thought the same & in fact I got the 4 steadies back (those in the vid are the actual) - whether I swap them back I don’t know as they my well increase the value of the van on trade in - so sorry I don’t know for sure
