Our Bessacarr E435 bounces when anyone goes up or down the steps. We were thinking of getting a couple of steadies or jacks to put under the overhang but not sure where exactly is the best place to put them. Anyone else use steadies?

Are your springs and shocks up to scratch?

We had some fitted as we suffered the same problem. Brilliant as they keep the van very steady.

I appreciate that steadies might be useful in stormy weather, but the O.P. said that the van bounced when anyone went up or down the steps. That's why I questioned whether the springs / shocks were adequate and working correctly.

Yes I always put the rear steadies down onto square blocks of wood when on site, it certainly helps to stop movement...( I usually put the winding handle across the drivers seat to remind me to lift them again!)

We bought some of these. https://www.manomano.co.uk/p/alu-jack-stands-caravans-trailers-4-pieces-axle-stand-stabilisation-trailer-4312729. Makes a huge difference. They don’t lift the van just support it. Thank you everyone for your replies.
