Help on levelling dual axle van

[goanna]

Hi
Would like to know what leveling gear anyone uses on a dual axle van, we have a 17-56-2 OB and on the trip we have just finished had a few times I would have liked the van not on a tilt

Cheers

Paul

I use the Fiamma level-up-plus leveling blocks, but I have to get the smaller ones (length wize) so it fits in between the 2 wheels, lifting one wheel doesn't do the job, especially with simplicity suspension.

Hi bigman0510 thanks for your reply, I've looked at the link you sent and see that the level up plus are 510mm long and you mention getting smaller ones, is this the level up pro by any chance

yeah I think so... haven't bought them yet, need to go out and measure the distance between the wheels when I get a chance. I had the other ones for my camper and they worked awesome!!

Hi Goanna.

We use the Fiamma brand ones.

The ones designed for dual wheels.

They are a bit shorter than normal and they don't have the lip at the top so they are easier to drive over the top.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your info, went to Jayco in Perth today and picked up a set that fitted between the wheels, were a bit cheaper than the Fiamma so ended up with them and wheel chocks at about the price of just the Fiamma leveler

Havn't seen before bigman, good idea. The only downside I can see is they might get in the way if you attach your skirt at the bottom!

Cheers.

Bought some levellers the other day where the back section of them are detachable to allow fitting in between tandem wheels. when you have driven up and if you need the last height module, you connect it and drive forward. Will post a picture.

Bigman - The issue I see with the dulldog lifters is if you have to level on the side where the awning/annexe is, they will protrude into the area and the skirt may not fit properly allowing draughts.

Cheers,

Rohan

Yeah no dramas, don't wear/have a skirt and don't have an annexe. Most of the places we go you would be struggling to find a flat area for an annexe anyway. But 6" of lift sounds good. I am interested in seeing yours Rohan.

Bought similar to Ro yesterday I suspect. Quite sturdy and the black and orange bit fit together firmly. Chocks were extra.
. Australian made by Haigh. 5t rated. Nice and wide, three steps 4, 7 & 10cm.

Xpandafan - exactly the same. Thanks for saving me the time to take a pic & post it!

You're welcome. They were sitting on the kitchen bench when I read your post. On "special" at $65 at Award AV in Ferntree Gully (chocks extra.)

 

[ROnEM]

You got a good deal - purchased mine at AutoPro for $79 + Chocks for $15.

 

[bigman0510]

looks interesting.... and it actually fits between the tandem wheels??

 

[ROnEM]

Bigman - Yes, they fit between the tandem wheels. That is part of the marketing pictures on the packaging.

Thanks!

Yep, I've got the Fiamma level pro. They fit between the double wheels. Not very hight though. I carry some extra timber
