I just sold my single lock n level to Npinks yesterday - I used it to change wheel on my twin axle and to fit the second axle lock. Works out expensive for a twin axle to get the whole kit so I compromised
Lot of people on CaravanTalk very enthusiastic about them but the cost put me off so I used the ramps,Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

They are great really need a slightly more powerful electric compressor to inflate them quicker but very pleased with them. I have a single one for a single axle if that is what you have and could do a deal on it.
They also mean that when the van is set up for a 2 week holiday if the van sinks one side you just slacken off the legs and inflate or deflate the lock and level. Really easy.

Nope, got a twin axle, but watching the video for the twin axle shows the guy inflating one cushion only under one wheel, which lifts the second wheel off the floor allowing you to rotate it to fit the Alko wheel lock.
Then he turns a valve which opens the air to the second cushion ... Job done

Yes that is it spot on. You really need a second person to confirm when the van is in the right position on the cushion, it can be done on your own but a bit more fiddlyMY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

They are great but with a twin and axle locks you need a single too in case the side that is low is not the side with the receivers which was my problem - if you just have a clamp no problem
Also SWMBO had to tell me when the first wheel was lined up to fit the lock then I could inflate the second wheel to fit the other lock. This provided HOURS of entertainment for the rest of the site and nearly ended in divorce.

Russell - if swmbo would drive and I did the instructions it would of been fine for me too. Even hitching up was site entertainment too - always ended up miles away from towbar when she said right or hitting the bumper. Marriage is a lot safer now the van has gone

I had 10' of scaffold board cut in half, it allows the T/A Swift Conqueror to roll forwards or backwards to line up the wheel lock and I can use one thickness or two. Never needed anything else. One is the norm but used two when extreme. Pitched all over Europe and never needed more although I also have 2 blocks of 8x4 about a foot long each which could go under one end of the board to make a ramp type thing if needed. Cost nothing and works a treat.FFRR 2017 4.4SDV8 Autobiography. Cost so much I must be mad!
