Hi Iveco,

for leveling a motorhome most people use blocks, you can fit stabilisers to the rear corners to steady the van but you can't use them to level the van as a motorhome is so much heavier than a caravan and they would either go through the base of the van or damage it.

How level do you need it to be?  Levelling blocks usually suffice.

I take it you want the actual legs you can lower well the answer is yes ive seen Galvanized ones local towing shop who specialises in trailers has them forsale at £20 each bolt on as with caravans.

This ones near Cannock Staffs 1/2 mile from toll road.

They are available it i would check your trailer outlets otherwise try a caravan breaker

We've only ever used levelling blocks - works fine and much easier than cranking down legs etc.  When you want to leave, just move back 2ft, load up the blocks and drive away

Most caravan dealers sell them, also e-bay. But as has been pointed out before, be very careful how you mount and use them, if not fitted correclty they could cause serious damage. If they are to be used for just stabalising then any caravan legs or similiar will do.

On my Rapido they have a very clever arangement, never seen it before, you do not need to wind them down at all, you pull them out, they drop to the floor, then you insert a metal pole (only about the lenght of a ruler) and crank it up a few time (similiar to a hyrdaulic jack). When you want to raise them, with you rfoot, simply knock the release mechanism and fold back up. Takes a matter of seconds and they work very well.

Hi the chunky Fiamma leveling blocks are £18 in Halfords. Look out this time of the year they have a sale and they drop them to about £15

The legs fitted to caravans are not for levelling, they are corner steadies, all levelling with a caravan should be doen with the two(four) road wheels and the jockey wheel.

I level our motorhome with fiamma leveling blocks, not been caught out yet.
