Park on Level Ground: Ideally, find a flat area to start. If not, prepare to adjust.
Check Initial Level: Whilst still connected to your vehicle check the caravan is level left to right on the axel , use a spirit level and place over the axel inside the van, if the caravan is not level use a Wheel Chock for left or right leveling , remember to put smaller chocks at the front or rear of the tyres once level just incase it rolls.
Adjust the Jockey Wheel:
If the caravan is low on the front , raise the jockey wheel by turning it clockwise. This will lift the front of the caravan.
If it’s high on the rear side, lower the jockey wheel by turning it counterclockwise.
Recheck the Level: After adjusting, check the level again inside the caravan. Make additional adjustments as needed.
Final Stabilization: Once level, secure the stabilizing jacks feet for added stability, do not use your jacks as left and right leveling as this can damage the stabilizing jacks, I personally put on the hand brake also, just in case.
