I love my camplet,(even thought it has'nt got a gas strut or an extra leg) but it can be a pain to level.Usually,trailer tents are better pitched across the slope, but we've always tried to pitch it parallel to it,but securely chocked. This means the wheels are at the same level more or less and the levelling is done mainly with the jockey wheel/stand. There is a fair bit of leeway in"nearly off the ground",as long as enough tension is taken off the suspension so the unit doesn't get up and roll away as you take the weight off by opening the lid. Also,some 8 inch or so squares of plywood will come in useful and put the wardrobe bar in before you peg out.(I usually forget).

Hope this helps but if it all goes wrong my name is jo123!

We take a variety of bits of wood and level as much as possible with the wheels and jockey wheel. The legs are really only steadies and not jacks.

I put the wardrobe bar in as soon as possible, even pulling the back bars for the inners together with a bungee if necessary.

This gives a fantastic rigidity to the frame and allows you fine tune the levelling

Thank you for the link, it is far clearer than the grotty little pamphlet we were given a few years ago.
