Now that I have an easy and safe method of lifting my caravan, I am investing in a pair of supports presently on offer at Discover Leisure at £12.99 to prevent flat spots occuring on tyres when in storage and minor wheel level adjustment when on site if used in conjunction with a piece of board beneath:

well spotted got mine today, I had thought about getting one a couple of years ago but was put off by the price, so bought a normal jack instead. Not a good idea, I struggled to turn the lifting handle, and the jack took a slight bend, and was not very steady.

This one looks spot on. Dont think the levels will be any good, i would think they will get dirty and will be hard to read, I wouldn't like to get down on my hands and knees on a wet camp site to read the side way levels. It looks like one of those ideas that looks good at the time, but is not much use when you come to use it.

Has any body checked to see if there is enough room under the van to use it if the tyre is completely flat? Quite fancy one of these how heavy is it please?

This is the reason we went for the Kojack. It does not jack onto the bottom of the chassis but onto brackets that, on my FC, sit halfway up the chassis.
Also the lifting piston is a 3 tube rather than the more usual 2 tube of a standard bottle jack.
More clearance for the same lifting power.

So to answer your question, yes, I did check that there was enough clearance to get the Kojack under my very low anyway FC Chassis even when I have a flat tyre.

This jack is no heavier than a normal bottle jack.
