Naive newbie that's me and tomorrow Im picking up my Eriba and dealer is currently closed so I'm asking my question on here and hoping it's not blindingly obvious. Prior to picking it up(triton430) I've been reading up and stressing about how I'm going to get it parked up and level on my 1 in 10 sloping downwards drive. As part of that the corner steadies will be important and I know I mustn't use them as jacks to "lift" the van but I'm now wondering are all 4 corner steadies independently operated or do they work as a pair so when I wind down the rear nearside corner study is that the only one that moves or does it also bring down the other rear corner steady. Like I said slightly dreading getting it home tomorrow and hopefully after that I can enjoying using the little beauty. Thanks in anticipation.

can also use levelling ramps for wheels, and chocks of wood. for steadies, motorhomes use them. look on amazon for a shape like and get a square gate post from your farming supplier in area. cut to shape lol. label all as your property.

That's really useful thanks. I realise now that I could, once I get down my drive that I could park the van side on (still on slope) which might be better and just seen a milenco caravan leveller which means I could lift one side of van, put some stacks under the legs and seems a good, non moveable solution?

Note that once you apply the brake the van will move back about 6" to fully apply the brake. I am assuming you will have a mover. These are very useful where slopes are involved. Ensure that it is fully engaged before carefully taking the brake off.

I do have a mover and it worked brilliantly. I’m now parked back down on my sloping drive but I’ve got the handbrake on which I know is not a good idea. Do you think I should disengage the brake with still a downward tilt. I have chicks and raised rear corner steadies on bricks.IMG_0584.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)IMG_0584.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Wheel chocks and all four steadies down should be quite sufficient. Definitely get the handbrake off for any protracted period and also release the mover.

So nice to have your Eriba on your own drive.

Thanks, only other concern is that the metal bit unde the hitch is now in contact with the drive and due to slope could be acting as additional steady if that makes sense. Is it best to have that front piece raised clear of the drive?

there a hitch posts (copy and paste) to see examples

could hitch up the let off the handbrake wheels chocked

It is a good idea to take the handbrake off if you leave the van stored for any length of time and definitely when over wintering.

A lot of us use the tyre savers under the tyres during winter storage to ensure that you don't get flat spots on the tyres. Milenco make some Stacka ones. I can't remember what make ours are, but I leave them on for winter storage on our drive.

If you feel flush you can also get some Milence Stacka feet for your steadies and then get some Stacks raisers that fit into these that you can use if your drive is uneven. they do the same job as Colin's discs of wood but lock into the Stacka feet.

Enjoy your Triton

Oh and you can also get a Stacka jockey Wheel Pocket that can be lfted with the Stacka jack pads - not "raisers " as I said above.............!
