Hi Eriba folk
Saw one of these devices at the NEC show. Looked amazing. Anyone with experience using one?

Do you mean the lock n level?

We bought one although haven't used it as yet. Still waiting for the Eriba to come but had read up on them before the show and it looked fairly good. Also takes up less room than levelling ramps.

Genius idea letting the tyres down!!!!.

Would this wreck the tyres though?

Doh. Fell for it hook, line and sinker. Ah well, think I'll buy one of these then.

Don't have a motor mover on my Puck & have a right old struggle pushing & shoving it on a standard leveller. I can just raise the caravan an inch or so by the steadies for a couple of minutes & slide this under the wheel

Or maybe I need to choose next year's festivals by the slope of the live in vehicles field. That's Boomtown crossed off for starters!!!

The reason we bought it is we will be taking the Eriba to festivals, where pitches aren't generally level.

EllieMay - From your post I'm assuming you've been to Boomtown before? We're going there for the first time next year and have got a camper van pass. What are the pitches like there?

Joking apart I was very impressed with how easy it was to use. Certainly with the heavier caravans I have had difficulties with ramps, wet grass causing wheels to spin and loose traction. My one question to the manufacturer will be how stable the van is on a bag of air, would it bounce and move? If so I definitely want one!

JamieB. Me too!!! I'm getting a bit old to be dragging all my stuff 5 miles cross-country

It's a levelling nightmare at festivals isn't it? You're crammed into a space with little room for manoeuvre making it pretty stressful to get it right so the fridge stands half a chance.

Been to Boomtown a few times. The fields aren't exactly level but they are nowhere near 45% angle in general camping

I'd say last year I needed to raise the van around 5" to make it level. I was in the Sector 6 field, no idea what the other one was like but Boomtown is in a valley so bugger all chance of getting a flat pitch anywhere!!

I love the idea of this mat, just raise the van an inch or 2 with the steadies for a couple of minutes & slide it underneath then pump it up, seems ideal!!!

I'm going to buy one next April so I'm all set for my first festival in May.

May see you in The Fields!!

Noted a Dutch guy doing exactly that this past summer until the rear steady simply broke which then left him scratching his head. Like the name implies, and the good book confirms, steadies are what they are and not jacks.

Correct, and if I wasn't in the back of my desktop pc cleaning the dust out of the fans after it started making noises I would have said the same thing.

You could always put the pad behind or in front of the wheel and roll it on,

At £89.45 without a wheel lock (needed extra) they are not cheap either

An alternative would be a Milenco Aluminium Caravan and Motorhome Leveller at £83.87

Devil's Advocate time

What's wrong with one of these and as many blocks of wood as you think you'll need? It's a lot cheaper and it'll also replace the need for a car jack and a caravan jack.

I've never owned one by the way so I'm open to argument.
