c)
Place a spirit level parallel to the axle on the front centre window
bottom or just inside the Caravan door.
It helps to have two people at this point. One should drive the car very
slowly forward moving the Caravan wheel up the levelling ramp, and the
other should indicate when the spirit level bubble is central.
Whichever method you use, and once level:
a)
apply the Caravan handbrake and chock the wheel if necessary.
b)
Lower the jockey wheel to ground level before unhitching. You
should then park your car, usually next to the Caravan furthest
away from the door side.
Note: On upward facing pitches when the hydraulically damped drawbar of
the hitch becomes fully extended, it will be necessary to compress the
drawbar slightly in order to achieve a 'clean' unhitching.
With the Caravan brake on, reverse the towing vehicle about 2.54cm (1") to
release hitch lock tension and using the jockey wheel adjustment, unhitch
the Caravan as previously described.
Front to Back Levelling:
This should be done only when the lateral levelling is complete.
a)
Place the spirit level pointing front to back just inside the Caravan
door or on the A frame.
b)
Then raise or lower the jockey wheel until the Caravan is
horizontally level.
