What Is the Easiest Way to Level a Caravan?

Levelling your caravan might sound like a simple task, just pop on some ramps or wind down the jockey wheel, right? But if you’re like many UK caravanners, you’ve probably spent more time fiddling than enjoying your holiday. The good news is there’s an easier way, and it’s transforming the pitching experience: inflatable levelling aids, especially the LocknLevel system from shop here.

Why Levelling Matters

Getting your caravan perfectly level is more than a matter of comfort, though that’s important too. A level caravan ensures your fridge works properly, your appliances drain correctly, and you avoid dodgy, half-open doors or wonky flooring. It also reduces structural strain and keeps internal movement to a minimum, making everything safer and more enjoyable. Even a slight tilt can spoil the experience.

Traditional Methods: Reliable but Fiddly

Levelling Ramps or Blocks

Typical caravanners rely on wedge ramps or stackable blocks. You place them under the lower wheel, reverse onto them and chock the wheel in place. It works but it can feel like a trial. It’s easy to misjudge the height, ramps can sink on soft ground, and aligning AL-KO wheel locks can become a frustrating chore.

Jockey Wheel and Corner Steadies

Once side-tilt is sorted, the jockey wheel adjusts fore-to-aft level. Important, but only half the battle. Lowering corners steadies and holds things in place, but they’re not levelling tools themselves they just stabilise what you’ve set.

Wheel Jacks

There’s also the option of using ratchet or scissor jacks around the wheel. They offer control, but can be hard work, rust-prone, and awkward when you want to adjust on the fly.

The Easiest Way: Lock n Level Inflatable Levelling System

Inflatable levelling using the LocknLevel system delivers precision, speed, and convenience, whether for single or twin axle caravans.

Here’s why it’s such a game-changer:

Put away the ramps, jacks, blocks, and spare planks. The LocknLevel combines levelling and wheellock alignment in one.

Designed to work with through-the-wheel locks such as AL-KO, it brings the wheel perfectly into position while levelling.

  • Achieves up to 6 inches (15 cm) of lift effortlessly.
  • Typically takes less than six minutes to set up and level even less for single-axle models.
  • Inflating using a standard car or caravan tyre pump, even a foot pump, can do the job.
  • Works on any surface, grass, gravel, hard standing and won’t sink on soft ground thanks to its generous airbag footprint.
  • Fully unaffected by motor movers, a common hindrance for other systems.
  • Backed by a 24-month warranty when bought directly.

Easy Setup: Step-by-Step

  1. Choose a reasonably level spot.
  2. Use a spirit level to check both sideways and fore-to-aft.
  3. Place the LocknLevel beside the lower wheel, aligned with the centre of the tyre.
  4. Roll or reverse onto it so the wheel sits squarely on the device.
  5. Fit your wheel lock (if using one).
  6. Chock the opposite wheel and/or jockey wheel.
  7. Inflate via standard tyre pump until level typically 8–30 psi for single axle, 18–30 psi for twin axle.
  8. On twin axles, inflate one side, lock the wheel, and open the balance valve to level both wheels.
  9. Use the jockey wheel to adjust the front-to-back level.
  10. Lower corner steadies for stability.
  11. When you’re ready to leave, raise the steadies, deflate, and drive off.

Simple, smooth, and stress-free.

Real Users Say…

One reviewer summed it up: “With the corner steadied down and the caravan level, we found no difference between using either the LocknLevel or traditional ramps.”

Another caravan site review put it simply: “Less than 10 minutes start to finish including levelling and inflation.”

Conclusion: Why It’s the Easiest Method

When you compare all options, the LocknLevel inflatable system stands out as the simplest, most accurate, and least effort way to level your caravan. It eliminates heavy lifting, fiddly alignments, and guesswork. With quick inflation and precise control, you can pitch up smoothly and get to the essentials: tea, relaxation, and the open road.
