How Do You Level a Caravan Without Using Ramps?

When you arrive at a campsite, there’s one job you can’t afford to skip: levelling your caravan. Sleeping on a slant isn’t just uncomfortable—it can affect your appliances, doors, and even your water systems. Most caravan owners immediately reach for levelling ramps, but what if you don’t have any with you or prefer not to use them? Good news: with LocknLevel’s innovative airbag levelling systems, you can level your caravan quickly and effortlessly without traditional ramps.

Why Bother Levelling Your Caravan?

Before diving into methods, it’s worth understanding why levelling is so important. Apart from ensuring a comfortable night’s sleep, a level caravan:

  • Protects appliances: Absorption fridges often require the caravan to be level to function properly.

  • Prevents leaks: Water tanks and plumbing work more effectively on a level surface.

  • Avoids damage: Stress on the caravan chassis and frame is reduced when it’s level.

So, if you find yourself without ramps, here’s how you can still get the job done.
