We've just been to Harringtons and seen this Kojak jack and leveller advertised. Unfortunately they don't stock them, only order them in on demand, so we couldn't have a look at it and how it works. 

Has anyone seen them or know anything about them? There's nothing at all on the Purple Line web site.

We bought one from Towsure and then found it £20 cheaper at Halfords :

Halfords

Haven't used it yet but we always take it with us just in case ! It was fiddly bolting the wotsits to the frame. S'pose we should check it works sometime......

There's been a few threads on it in the past.

This must be some kind of record - a first response after nearly 2 1/2 years!!

We bought a Kojak but, since then, my husband has died and I now tow on my own - and I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it!!

Looks like another one for sale.

It's just a jack that is small enough to fit under the chassis of the caravan. You put it under the jacking points that should have been bolted to the chassis. It enables you to lift the caravan up to extract the spare wheel if you need to....... The jacking points have spirit levels on to help you level the caravan if you have your head underneath it !

If you need the spare wheel and you are a member of the AA or RAC then you would probably call them instead.

Hope this helps,

Shirley.

Hi, Shirley, that's exactly what I'd do - call out the AA. I don't do crawling around under vehicles and changing wheels I'm afraid.

Don't blame you ! But if you are going to rely on the AA then just double check that it does cover the caravan as well as the car. (If you haven't already that is !)

Shirley.

Its a good jack and when the RAC came out to my van minus wheel they use my Kojack to get the van high enough to get the spare out and then get their trolley jack in place

It fits the same jacking points as my X Trail and after removing the polystyrene in the boot the jack will go in the original car jack place so I only need to carry one

It MUCH easier to use than the Alko and people use them when lining up the Alko wheel clamps /levelling especially on twin axles when the AA/RAC would soon tire of coming out

The built in spirit levels are a gimick as you ned to lie on the ground to see them and also you have to allow for suspension settling after you lower the jack

Hope that helps
