Why E&P Hydraulic levelling for caravans?

The levelling system for caravans

E&P Levelling system for caravans - Level CThe E&P Hydraulics Level C is capable of levelling a caravan in under 2 minutes and is designed specifically for caravans to provide impeccable stability on any ground

Why Level C?

Campsite pitches are rarely level. This can lead to sleeping on a slope while your caravan rocks and shakes in the wind; cupboard doors fall open and water doesn’t drain away from the shower or sink. In most cases, it takes chocks or a jack to level your caravan. This takes time and effort… which is the last thing you want when you’re on holiday, especially if it’s cold or raining.

E&P Hydraulics set the benchmark when it comes to levelling systems for caravans, offering fully automated levelling with the Level C Complete while the Compact System provides an affordable semi-automatic alternative.

E&P Hydraulics Level C Complete for CaravansLevel C Complete

The E&P Level C Complete system offers the gold standard in levelling for your caravan, providing unparalleled stability and fully automatic levelling in under 2 minutes.

When activated, the system lowers two hydraulic axle jacks, levelling your caravan side-to-side. Four hydraulic corner steadies are then deployed, levelling front-to-back.

In Manual mode the wheels can be raised off the ground, enabling you to rotate your tyres in the winter, avoiding flat spots. The sides of the caravan can also be lifted independently, to facilitate emptying the wastewater tank.

E&P Hydraulics Level C Compact for CaravansLevel C Compact

The E&P Level C Compact system is an affordable, semi-automatic levelling system that offers the perfect solution if you’re looking for automated side-to-side levelling at a more affordable price.

The system comprises two hydraulic axle jacks that can either be operated automatically or manually to level your caravan side-to-side. Levelling front-to-back can then be achieved manually with a jockey wheel and corner steadies.

E&P Hydraulics levelling systems are provided with a control panel that’s fitted in your caravan as standard. Upgrade options also include a removable touchpad that functions as a wireless remote control when it’s removed from its docking station. Then there’s the intelligent E&P Hydraulics app for smartphones and tablets for the ultimate wireless interface that’s always at your fingertips.

Build quality

Level C is a state-of-the-art system, designed around knowledge and experience. The base plates for the legs are built with stainless steel, making them resistant to rust, even after years of use, and all key components are coated to protect against corrosion, stone chips, rain and dirt.

Caravan owners also have to pay special attention to the weight of any additional accessories, which is why Level C is constructed with premium, lightweight materials.

Three things you need to know before buying a hydraulic levelling system

E&P hydraulics levellingWhy should you consider a hydraulic levelling system? Levelling your caravan or motorhome is one of the first jobs when you arrive at your holiday destination. Whether it be for a one-night stopover or a two-week summer holiday, your vehicle needs to be level for many reasons. The traditional, manual way to level your vehicle is tedious, hard work and can be quite time-consuming. Especially if you’re having to set up in the dark or after a long journey. A hydraulic levelling system takes all that pain away and levels the vehicle perfectly in under two minutes. Leaving you to get the bags unpacked and start enjoying your break. Simply, all you have to do is press a button and the system levels your vehicle for you.
Here are the three main things you need to know about a hydraulic levelling system. You can find more detail about the systems below, but in a nutshell, here are three key things to consider;

1. Simplicity of hydraulic levelling

Make sure your hydraulic levelling system is easy to use. You don’t have to be technical. You just press a button and the system does everything for you. You don’t even need to maintain the system as it’s all contained within a closed-loop hydraulic system. There is no need for a spirit level, chocks, drill for winding the legs down or any other gadget or tool.

2. Solid and stable position

Levelling your motorhome or caravan is important to maintain good working order of the fridge and to ensure good drainage from your sink and shower tray. It also protects you from buffeting in strong winds and helps to ensure you aren’t sleeping on an angle! But for added comfort, a strong and stable levelled pitch will stop any sway when walking in, out and through your vehicle. Making your vehicle a much more comfortable environment.

3. Payload pay-off

The system is hydraulic so is very strong and can support pretty much any motorhome or caravan, but make sure the hydraulic levelling system you choose doesn’t take away too much weight from your payload. With E&P’s hydraulic levelling system, there obviously is some weight added to the vehicle but it’s only 25kg for caravans and 55kg for motorhomes up to 5.5 tonnes GVW. Still giving you plenty of payload for the extra comfy camping chairs.

E&P Hydraulic Levelling

There are three versions of the E&P Hydraulic levelling system: The main two systems are Level M for motorhomes and Level C for caravans, but there is also Level C Compact for caravans which is a semi-automatic levelling system (we call it semi-automatic because you still need to wind the corner steadies down manually so it’s a little different).
