This is my homemade gizmo for levelling a
camper trailer if the ground is uneven by simply placing the
campers wheels up on it.
Three pieces of 120
x 300 x 30 mm bits of wood I had laying around were used & joined
with butt hinges. The ramp is a bit of tread plate I also had
laying around.
You
just vary the folds to get the height you need to level the
camper. This gives me a total lift of 90mm.
The
defender tyres were not very wide so 120mm was ok, however
with the Tvan I tend to use the two together side by side. I
would say about 180mm was a good width for cruiser type
wheels.
If
I was making one again I would make the checker plate ramp the
same length as the wood, but this is what I had at the time.
You
could always add extra layers if you want to go higher but I
think 90-100mm is fine.
I used to carry just bits of wood but
this idea stops the wood slipping as you drive onto it
particularly if you need to raise the wheel by three layers.
Thanks to Mike Sargeant for
sharing this idea with us
