ARRIVING ON SITE
ARRIVING ON SITE
CHECK SITE REGULATIONS
On arrival at a campsite, you should always
check the site regulations. This will help avoid
any unnecessary conflict with site
management and other site users.
SELECTING A PITCH
Carefully select where you wish to place your
motorhome. The site should be as level as
possible, preferably not under or near trees,
well drained and away from possible boggy
areas. Consider how you will move the
motorhome when it is time to leave the site.
On sloping ground it is better to pitch facing
downhill, especially during wet weather.
LATERAL LEVELLING (SIDE TO SIDE)
A quick glance at your pitch should tell you if
you are likely to need side to side leveling i.e.
levelling across the axle. On uneven ground
lateral levelling is accomplished by the use of
a leveler jack or ramp and a spirit level
placed ‘across’ the motorhome floor.
LEVELLER JACK
Place the leveller jack, folded flat, in front of
the wheel that is to be raised to level the
axle. Drive the motorhome onto the leveler
jack and adjust the height until the spirit level
shows that the motorhome is laterally level.
RAMP
Reverse onto your pitch about a foot further
back than you wish to end up. Then place the
levelling ramp in front of the wheel that needs
to be raised.
Place a spirit level parallel to the axle or just
inside the motorhome door. It helps to have
two people at this point. One should drive the
motorhome very slowly forward moving the
wheel up the ramp, and the other should
indicate when the spirit level bubble is in the
middle.
Whichever method you use, once level,
apply the motorhome handbrake and chock
the motorhome wheel if necessary.
