I am trying to find the best option for levelling the van (twin axle) but cant decide which to go for?

For the past few years I have been carrying round lengths of decking board, which to be fair has worked but bulky.

I am looking for something light and easy to store and seem to be shortlusting to Milenco Stackalevels or a product called Locknlevel that you inflate.

Has anyone tried either of these that can let me know how well they would work on a twin axle van?

Thanks

We have always found two planks to be the best.

I've been looking at the lock'n'level for our twin axle, I like the way you can inflate one 'cushion' then spin the other wheel to line up the alko lock. The only down side I can see is stray little stones putting a hole in it. I've seen people putting a mat underneath the lock'n'level to protect it on a hand standing pitch but what about the stones already stuck in the tyre tread.

just build your own lock and level.

8" lay flat discharge pipe.
1x tyre valve
4x bits of aluminium bar
10x M10 nuts and bolts
tyre cement

took about an hour to put together

the idea came from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x19Wsx2OSz8

I use a bulldog leveller, But i only bought it because it was very cheap.

Before that i used some planks. A single length of decking will make plenty of ramps.

I cut it at a 45 degree angle and then just stack them.

The spare ones can be used to spread the load on the legs.
