ARRIVAL ON SITE
Check and observe site regulations.
Selecting a Pitch:
Do not pitch in such a position that your outfit will obstruct others coming
in.
Try to choose an area, which is dry, reasonably level and preferably with
hard base.
If you have no alternative but to pitch on a slope, ensure that when you
leave you are facing down the slope.
It is good practice to chock the wheels of the Caravan when parked on a
slope even though the Caravan handbrake has been applied.
Side to Side Levelling:
A quick observation of your pitch should tell you if you are likely to need
side to side levelling i.e. levelling across the axle(s).
On uneven ground lateral levelling is accomplished by the use of levelling
ramps and a spirit level placed 'across' the Caravan floor.
Using levelling ramps:
a)
Reverse onto your pitch a short distance (say 12") further back than
you wish to end up.
b)
Then place the levelling ramp in front of the wheel that needs to
be raised.
