SITE ARRIVAL
CHECK SITE REGULATIONS
On arrival at a camp site, you should
always check the site regulations. This
will help avoid any unnecessary conflict
with site management and other site
users.
SELECTING A PITCH
Carefully select where you wish to place
your motorhome. The site should be as
level as possible, preferably not under or
near trees, well drained and away from
possible boggy areas. Consider how you
will move the motorhome when it is time
to leave the site. On sloping ground it is
better to pitch facing downhill, especially
during wet weather.
LATERAL LEVELLING (SIDE TO SIDE)
A quick glance at your pitch should tell
you if you are likely to need side to side
leveling i.e. leveling across the axle.
On uneven ground lateral levelling is
accomplished by the use of a leveller jack
or ramp and a spirit level placed 'across'
the motorhome floor.
Leveller Jack - Place the leveller jack,
folded flat, in front of the wheel needed to
be raised to level the axle. Drive the
motorhome onto the leveller jack and
adjust the height until the spirit level
shows that the motorhome is laterally
level.
Ramp - Reverse onto your pitch about a
foot further back than you wish to end up.
Then place the leveling ramp in front of
the wheel that needs to be raised.
Place a spirit level parallel to the axle or
just inside the motorhome door. It helps to
have two people at this point. One should
drive the motorhome very slowly forward
moving the wheel up the ramp, and the
other should indicate when the spirit level
bubble is in the middle.
Whichever method you use, once level,
apply the motorhome handbrake and
chock the motorhome wheel if necessary.
