FRONT & BACK OR FORE & AFT
LEVELING
This should be done only when the lateral
leveling is complete.
Place the spirit level pointing front to back
just inside the caravan door or on the A-
frame, then raise or lower the jockey
wheel until the caravan is horizontally
level.
If there is a significant front to back slope,
you may need to place a block under the
jockey wheel.
Next, wind down the corner steadies onto
load spreaders (blocks of wood a
minimum of 15.25cm (6 inches) square or
'Big Foot' steady attachments) until they
are firmly set against the ground. It is
possible on very uneven sites that when
fully extended blocks may be required
under the corner steadies to achieve this.
It is important that the caravan is correctly
levelled to ensure the correct working of
the refrigerator, cooker etc.
Now that your caravan is level, place the
caravan step in front of the door ensuring
that it is stable and safe to use.
PARKING ON A REVERSE-SLOPING
SITE OR STEEP HILL
For successful parking on a reverse slope
or steep hill, the operator need only apply
the handbrake with one hand while gently
but purposely inching the caravan a small
distance backwards with the other.
WARNING:
If the handbrake is NOT fully
applied to the last tooth (i.e. vertical)
and is set to some lesser position
than the full vertical, then problems
will almost certainly arise after the
caravan has been uncoupled from
the towing unit.
CAUTION:
Never enter the
caravan without first lowering
the four corner steadies with the
brace provided.
Corner steadies should not be used
as a jack. Take care not to lift the
caravan wheels.
