Do not pitch in a position in which
your vehicle will obstruct others
coming in.
Try to choose an area that is dry,
reasonably level and, preferably, with
a hard base.
If you have no alternative but to
pitch on a slope, ensure that when
you leave, you are driving down
the slope.
It is always good practice to check
the wheels of the motor home
when parked on a slope or a
slippery surface although the brakes
are applied.
In poor site conditions:
1. Keep engine revs low; start in
second gear if possible to
prevent the wheels digging in.
2. Steer as straight as possible.

Levelling must be carried out in
both directions in order for the
refrigerator and other equipment to
function correctly.
Lower the corner steadies, using the
special Auto-Trail brace, until they
are in firm contact with the ground.
DO NOT use the corner steadies
as a jack; they are only a means of
stabilising the motor home.
Levelling pads or boards should be
used under steadies and wheels
where the ground is soft or uneven.
Check whether the motor home is
level both front and rear.
In extreme cases where it is
necessary to raise a wheel off the
ground for levelling purposes,
further support should be applied
so that the corner steadies do not
take any undue strain.
