Thats a shame Russell. It seems a good idea but a bit expensive for what it is.
Might have to get my thinking cap on.

If you can find hose wide enough they are easy to make. the one I made did not have a balance vale but two sepaerate valves, drive van on, inflate first one turn second wheel to fit lock and then inflate the second section to same pressure, you dod not really need the balance valve in my opinion.MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Thanks Russell.
I only need for a single axle but if I had a quid for evertime I get it into position nice and level then remember the wheel lock only to find a spoke or valve is in the way - I could be driving a D4!!

I have one of the Milenco levellers from a while back.
It was hard work to level the caravan. It's in the garage and not been used in a long time.
Had the lock 'n' level. Good kit but a pain to setup on your own.
Now got the E&P self levelling system. It has been on since we got the caravan pretty much and has been amazing. So easy to fit 2 wheel locks. Auto mode levels the caravan in less than 2 minutes.
Also when storing it I can lift it so the wheels are completely off the ground so no flat spots.Ian

I'm guessing that's not cheap though Ian.

Doesn't that just level front to back? Surely if left or right need raising you would still need to put a ramp under the wheel? Or am I missing something?

there are 2 rams under the axle. they level sideways. then the front comes down to level front/back. then the rear legs come down to steady it.
6 points of solid contact. with the wheels just touching the ground it eliminates the 'give' in the tyres and suspension and the caravan is solid on the ground.
About £3k fully fitted if you want the wireless remote. Standard fit on Buccaneer caravans and top end motor homes.Ian
