Leveling ramps noob advice

[sipep]

Hi all.


So I need to purchase some leveling ramps.. I hate wasting money on a product and finding out there was a defato standard product that everyone uses..

So what is the go to make / brand leveling ramps...

Managed 4 years without levelling ramps. Slope at Autumn camp was the only time I’ve needed them and I drove onto 2 blocks of wood.
Got a slight sideways slope on tonight’s site but the only issue I see is that not all the water drains down the sink. First world problem.

I think most folks opt for the Fiamma Level Up system (me included but not used them yet).

I have the smaller Pro’s, probably only use them once a year.

I bought a pair of milenco quattros only to find the van was too low to get onto them. got a home made alloy pair that are light and easy tho carry around now

I use the fiamma level up system. The bag is very handy for storing the dirty ramps.
I also use them servicing the camper and cars. Makes oil changes quicker.

Fiamma level up Jumbo for us, great for the wider tyre. The carry bag is good, sits nicely on the floor between the captain seats. Used them a few times, wouldn't be without.

We bought levelling up ramps used them once in 3 years - sold them on eBay - for the sites that we go to now we will never need them.

As @paddy26 says, they are so useful for raising the front, side or the rear (to make getting the spare wheel in or out easier). Certainly qualify as a 2 uses product!

I'll wait for a Facebook special then

Found 3 x on Facebook... All of which looks good

1 Fiamma yellows £15
2 Thule levelers £20 (with bag)
3 Milenco triple 3 £30 (with bag)

Is it safe to leave the van on these only drive on a semi permanent basis? My drive has an decline towards to my house.. also my types as chunky

 

[Drive Wayne]

Check the widths of the ramps on offer, and I would double check the tread width of your tyres as a belt and braces thing. My 275's are 2 cm too wide for the Fiammas I have, but they seem happy on them. I wouldn't want to leave mine permanently under the weight of the van, but that's just me, I would worry about 'plastic fatigue' or some other modern illness!

If you get the big chunky ones I don’t see why not.
I just got a set of the Fiamma jumbo ones for my 275’s and I would be confident leaving my van on them.
They are very substantial especially compared to the set I had.
