Caravan supports: crank supports, steady legs and levelling
The right support system for your caravan
Stable position on the pitch
Caravan supports ensure a safe and stable position for your caravan on any pitch. They minimise movement inside and increase comfort when entering and exiting. Depending on your requirements, you can choose between mechanical crank supports, electric supports, or a hydraulic levelling system that automatically levels your caravan.
Caravan support systems at a glance
- Hydraulic supports automatically level your caravan both lengthwise and laterally.
- Electronic supports extend at the push of a button, saving manual cranking.
- Mechanical crank steadies are available in various designs. Depending on the model, they are suitable for caravans with a permissible gross weight of up to 2,500 kg.
Which support system is right for your caravan?
Not every camper has the same requirements. Some simply want to stabilise their caravan as easily as possible. Others are looking for maximum comfort and want to level their caravan at the push of a button.
Frequently asked questions about caravan supports
Caravans are typically supported at all four corners. Mechanical crank supports are suitable for classic stabilisation. The UP4 electronic support system extends the corner steadies at the push of a button. If you want to level the caravan automatically, you need a dedicated hydraulic system such as LevelC.
First, secure the caravan against rolling and make sure it is level. Then lower the corner steadies evenly until they make firm contact with the ground. The corner steadies are for stabilisation only and must not lift the caravan on one side or relieve the wheels completely. Always refer to the operating manual for the respective system.
Mechanical crank supports stabilise the pre-aligned caravan and are operated manually. The UP4 electronic support system extends and adjusts the corner steadies electronically. The hydraulic LevelC system can raise and automatically level the caravan within the system's specified limits, both lengthwise and laterally. Mechanical and electronic corner steadies must not be used as a substitute for a jack.
Mechanical crank supports stabilise the pre-aligned caravan. UP4 electrically extends the supports and allows fine adjustment. A dedicated hydraulic system such as LevelC is required for automatic levelling in both longitudinal and lateral directions.
