Levelling Your Caravan
The stabiliser legs on your caravan 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.
