Jacking Your Caravan or Camper
Your trailer is fied with purpose built jacking points and from January 2021 supplied with a suitable jack. An
appropriately rated bole jack is an acceptable alternave, however when using the jacking point beneath the trailing arm
ensure the jack is of a retracted height that will fit under the jacking point when the tyre is deflated. A suitably rated
“High Li” jack may be used on the jacking points on the side of the body behind the wheels provided it has the correct
posive engagement fing to match the trailer. To ensure safe usage the following must be followed:
• The jack is to be used on level firm ground wherever possible.
• The wheels of the trailer should be chocked, and no person should remain inside the trailer whilst it is
being jacked.
• No person should place any portion of their body under a trailer that is supported by a jack.
• The trailer should be attached to the towing vehicle whilst being jacked.
• When performing maintenance ensure suitably rated jack stands are used – do not rely on the trailer
being supported by the jack.
