Which levellers do people recommend?

[Highway Star]

I am wondering which Moho levellers do people recommend? Pretty much every one I clicked on Amazon had at least one review saying it deformed on first use…
And none of them seem large enough to comfortably support all the tyre…

I had Millenko for two motorhomes before I upgraded to self-levelling on my new one . They lasted about 11 years, and one of my friends is still using them

Hydraulic..........cannot be beaten and an excellent security measure!

How are they a security measure? The handbrake overrides the controls and raises them?

We’ve used Milenco Quattro 3 blocks for three years, and they’re fine with our 4000kg van.

They did melt a bit in the Spanish sun though, but they still work well.

Thule. Nice quality and a decent bag to keep them in.

Does on mine. E&P M level…

Don't buy the Milenco MGI 3 tier ones. They aren't robust enough for a Moho.

Had mine fitted at AS air suspension Warrington. 01925 740666. One of the best things I did for the motorhome.

Thanks. Not too far from us.

It means they have to start the vehicle. If it's on the jacks it can't be towed off or dragged on the back of a flat bed.

Yes guess so, but never heard of a van been nicked in such a manner, normally cloned key or bypassed and started and driven off?

There are plenty of stories online, including on this site, of it happening. How often I have no idea, but I suspect it is far less than by using keys. I was just answering your question on how jacks can be a security measure.

I have an alarm, tracker, steering wheel lock and wheel lock so don't rely on the jacks for security, but sense would say they can only add to it and not be detrimental (acknowledging the fact that if they have started the vehicle then they offer nothing).

And the handbrake raising the jacks can be disabled or changed to provide a warning alarm/buzzer if the ignition is switched on with the jacks extended.

I made some out of wood joists, 2 step up levels and they stack together nicely in the locker. They will never crack or break. I also put the car on them for draining the oil

Another vote for airbags. Not cheap but pack away nicely and easy to setup.

Think yours are faulty then, i would get them checked…

What if I forget to retract the motorhome levelling jacks before leaving?​

Whilst you, the user, are responsible for ensuring your vehicle is safe to drive, there is an inbuilt safety feature ensuring the levelling system will only work when the hand brake is engaged. If you release the hand brake with the levelling jacks still deployed, whilst the ignition is on, an alarm will sound and the hydraulic jacks will retract immediately, to help prevent any damage.

Milenco Tridents. Rarely bother to use them, but when I do sometimes find after jumping up to one of the positions, moving into Park (automatic box) and applying handbrake the vehicle (2020 Ducato) rolls back and either settles on a peak rather than trough (if you get my meaning) or falls down to the lower level. Also scared of jumping up the levels too enthusiastically and rolling off the top.

Correct, M-Level not affected by the handbrake.

I have not done so but I seem to remember that the settings in the removable M-Level controller also allow you to override the interlock with the ignition.
(i.e. you can start the engine with the rams down)

Your must be faulty - really, see extract from their guidance video

M- Level and Level M are different systems, M-Level is a UK company that makes Hydraulic Jacks, Level M is the name given to the Hydraulic Jacks made by the Dutch company E & P.

Not on my MaVe system it was wired in that way so the drivers seat can be swivelled without fouling the handbrake, they do retract when the ignition is put on.

From the M-Level website (FAQs)

9. Does the system add to my motorhome security?​

The M-level is unique in as such that you have options that offer more vehicle security. You can set the system to require a personal PIN code before the handset will operate. You also have an option to set the system so that the jacks do not retract even when the ignition is switched on (an alarm and warning LED do operate at this point). So, if you leave the vehicle (with the system deployed) and take the handset with you, it’s then extremely difficult for anyone to move the vehicle.

If the wheels are on the ground you would end up with a hell of a lot of damage not just the rams, chassis as well it could wright off the vehicle.
