Using Wheel Chocks and Ramps
The stabiliser legs on your camper are not designed for supporting the full weight of the trailer, they are there to
stabilise it once it is level. Using your stabilisers as a lifting mechanism will void your warranty as will extending them
with a “rattle gun” or “impact wrench”. Levelling front to back can be done by raising and lowering the jockey wheel
prior to adjusting the stabiliser legs. Getting the trailer level from left to right should be done with drive on stepped
ramps as illustrated below. Once levelled the legs can be lowered to keep the trailer stable. On soft ground you may
want to use timber sole boards under the stabiliser feet.
Operating the Jockey Wheel
The rated load capacity of a jockey wheel is achieved when the jockey wheel is retracted to its lowest position
When moving the trailer on the jockey wheel, always lower it as far as possible but still allowing the wheel to swivel
as you steer the trailer.
