hi there i am just setting up with my first caravan i am looking at the different leveling devices does anyone out there use the wheel clamp type that you can also wind up to level it sideways or are the old ramp blocks the way to go thanks for any advice
I just use the ramp block it is cheaper and lighter to carry.

i use both types,most of the time for a side level the blocks are enough.its one i made myself from half ince ply 6 inch wide and 5 foot long.it has 4 stages of hight.for more than that the side lift wheel jack would be used.the caravan needs to be level for correct operation of the fridge.
------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
I have a wind up leveler, although not with a wheel clamp. Only used it once but it seemed to do the trick. I have used the ramps but could not get along with those very well as the van does not level very well when still attached to the car and the missus was no good at shouting stop. To many rows were had. At least I can do the wind up one on my own.
I have a wind up leveler Yep same here , the steel one is a bit heavy , think i'd go for the alloy one if there is a next time , does save lots of arguing over when the van was level , my oh did say stop once after i'd driven over the top of the wedge and stuffed it into the wheel arch , i was not a happy bunny .
thanks for yor help its nice to see i am not the only one whos o/h as blond moments first trip out asked her to watch me reverse stands at the back of the van with curtains drawn not a lot of good
At most sites you will be ok with one , but you may get the odd site where you need to use two , one on top the other to get your caravan level . So i would buy 2 , make sure they can lock one on top the other . I also made up two 8" x 8" by 6" high plywood boxes , to place under the caravan steadys that couldn't reach the ground on really unlevel sites .
