How many flat-jacks do I need for leveling (putting horizontal) my camper or my caravan/folding caravan?
On normal campings the following amount of flat-jacks is sufficient:
| Normal camper (with 4 wheels) | 2 flat-jacks needed to lift the 2 lowest wheels on the slope, in order to level your camper |
| Normal caravan or folding caravan (with 2 wheels) | 1 flat-jack needed to lift the lowest wheel on the slope, in order to level your (folding) caravan |
| Big camper (with 6 wheels, tandem-axle camper, 1 front axle and 2 back axles) | 3 flat-jacks needed to lift the lowest wheels on the slope, in order to level your tandem-axle camper |
| Big caravan (with 4 wheels tandem-axle caravan with 2 axles) | 2 flat-jacks needed to lift the lowest wheels on the slope, in order to level your tandem-axle caravan |
| Big camper (with 6 wheels, 1 front axle with 2 wheels and 1 back axle with 4 wheels, the so-called twin wheels) | 3 flat-jacks needed to lift the lowest wheels on the slope, in order to level your twin wheels camper |
If you are often outside the campings with your camper, so camping in the wild, then you will encounter situations in which you also need 3 flat-jacks (instead of 2) with your normal 4-wheel camper. Reason fort his is that the slopes are not only in 1 direction, but in several directions, like high in the Pyrenees or Alps or in the mountain forests or fjords in Norway. In those cases you need a third flat-jack to correct the third wheel to be level. This only holds for the adventurous people who often camp outside campings and in extremer ground circumstances. Normally you only need 2 flat-jacks for leveling your camper on normal camping situations.
