Hi all
Happy camping. Any certain and tried and tested recommendations as to type/weight rating of Jack for our caravan?

Thanks guys

Thanks Colin
Our van is 2023. I could get a scissor Jack on but would have difficulty winding up with the weight of the van on as the handle of the Jack would I think have to run parallel lengthways to the van. I think a bottle Jack would be ideal. Thanks for your suggestion.

I have very recently bought a really good condition red Coram (Land Rover) jack on Ebay for £50. It had just been serviced and it works brilliantly; the cradle shape works really well on the round axle and the long two part arm reaches out well outside the caravan. Only slight downside is that it takes a long time to pump up as you can't use all the movement available in the arm - pump it up as far as you can before putting the bar in...

I have a side jack as Colin mentions that fits into the end othe square section chassis component by the rear wheels. £20 would buy it as I now carry a light weight aluminium trolley jack that I use for other reasons in my workshop. PLease PM if of interest. I am in Cambridge but it probably wouldnt be difficult to post if need be...

My Puck has a piece of metal added to take a car scissor jack. (not by me!)

Our LR Discovery carries its own jack, that fits the axle.
Must have a look at the spare wheel carrier though, I know the lock works, but not sure about the central pin that others have mentioned.

Disco 1 jack (made by Coram in Italy) is the one recommended by many for an Eriba axle - and is what i have bought for mine (pics attached).

Having a Disco 1 as a tow vehicle just means one less bit of kit for you to have to buy and haul around!

I too found a Coram jack on ebay which is perfect and compact. My chassis is square but jack still works well. However, I also made this wooden block which not only reduces pumping but also improves the seating on the square chassis

if have a flat tyre put a ramp and block in, front of wheel, drive / tow eriba onto ramp block then jack?
draper and clarke make bottle jacks
personally id prefer to be hitched up when dealing with jacks under eriba, with the strange yet designed normal hand brake movement..
