I have just changed my single axle for a twin axle van and was wondering the best way to level the van on a sloping site. I have been using for my single axle one of those large wedge type levellers with the chock to lock in place and thought  would just buy another for the second wheel.

However thinking about it two of these wedges would not work as the one between the wheels would not fit in the gap?

Perhaps I'm missing something lol, is there any easy way of levellin a twin with both wheels on the same side being supported, without having to buy two of those Milenco jack type levellers, which look great but buying two would be quite expensive?

Thanks

I carry several long planks of different thickness,Simply back the two wheels up onto them.

Been lots of threads on this subject,try a search for more ideas.

I bought the two Milenco levellers and yes ... it was expensive! Trouble is that half the time I'm parking it using the motor mover and that won't get the van climbing much of a chock or pile of planks because the weight comes off the driving wheels which then spin. I reckoned you've only got to buy them once! If you do get them make sure you take a good ratchet spanner with you or socket drive ... this is the easiest way to use them.

Hi Dave

I get the jack out.  Once vans where you want it jack up whichever side needs raising, couple of bits of wood under the wheels.  Lower the jack.  Bobs your uncle!  This might sound hard work, but in reality it takes 2 minutes, especially if your jacks easy to get too, and you've got a few bits of wood to hand.
