Caravan supports: crank-down legs, steady legs and levelling

    The right support system for your caravan

    First, secure the caravan against rolling and ensure it is level. Then crank the corner steadies down evenly until they are in firm contact with the ground. The supports provide stability and must not be used to lift the caravan on one side or relieve the wheels completely. Always observe the operating instructions for the respective system.

    Mechanical crank-down supports stabilise the caravan after it has been levelled and are operated by hand. UP4 handles the extension and adjustment of the corner steadies electromechanically.
