I have one, yes it does take an age to wind up to height, but that doesn't bother me its all part of setting the van up,  i bought mine because of the alko wheel lock, now i just line up the wheel lock then use the leveller to correct the height where as before  i would either levellel the van with blocks then still have to jack it up to turn the wheel to line up the lock, or it would be line up then jack it up past the level height put blocks under wheels to support van then lower jack and hope you had got correct height which could take several attempts.

My advice if using an alko lock get the leveller, bought mine of Ebay about £45,

Thanks to your questions + these being answered + it allows others looking in to gain information ahead of time.

So keep on asking as I like looking in to read them. Never know if I may want or need later on.17

Sorry about the misunderstanding, now having looked at your profile i presume the Dandy is a folding camper or trailer tent in which case the Alko lock i refer to does not matter, The lock i am on about is the Alko Secure wheel lock which goes through the wheel rim and locks on to a bracket behind the wheel.

Honestly i don't try to confuse

Are you sure you mean an impact wrench. I would have thought that a socket wrench would have done the job.

I've got a milenco

Pros
Precise leveling

Cons
It's big
It's heavy
It takes a while to get the 'van jacked up

But, if you've got OCD, it's the bees knees to get that van precisely level!
