How LevelC works

With two hydraulic cylinders and four hydraulic corner steadies, LevelC fully automatically aligns the caravan along its longitudinal and transverse axes. The intelligent algorithm prevents damage from torsional forces to the vehicle chassis.

The control is simple and intuitive: Start the levelling process at the touch of a button via a permanently installed control panel, by remote control or via a touchpad. For special cases, individual positions can be approached in manual mode.

Due to its low additional weight of approx. 20 kg, the LevelC system only minimally restricts the vehicle’s potential payload.

Anti-theft protection

LevelC for caravans not only enables the caravan to be levelled automatically in the shortest possible time, but also ensures that your caravan cannot be moved after that. This keeps it safe from theft when unattended.

LevelC easy to retrofit

The E&P LevelC for caravans can be retrofitted to virtually any single- and double-axle chassis caravan. All components are mounted to the caravan axle and lower base with suitable adapters, with no welding required. Only one battery, which may already be fitted, is required to operate the 12 V hydraulic pump. Depending on the chassis, we or one of our service partners will carry out the installation within one working day.

FAQ

Can I park my caravan with the LevelC extended?

Although this is useful to protect the tyres during long periods of storage, it cannot completely stop tyre wear. Extended supports during the winter break can also help to prevent the handbrake from sticking and secure the caravan against theft. If you leave the system in use for a longer period of time, please use a silicone-based protective spray for the axle supports to extend their service life.

What happens if the caravan battery runs flat?

The caravan levelling system requires a fully charged battery to operate. It is an auto levelling device needing power, just like a fridge, heating system, or motor mover. Our system software is designed to protect the battery and, therefore, if the battery voltage is low then the hydraulic levelling system cannot be used and an alarm will sound on the control panel to indicate this. In the event your battery voltage is too low, you can hook up to the site electrics, or your towing vehicle to recharge it.

What is the minimum battery voltage required to operate the Levelsystem?

12 Volts The E&P Hydraulics Level C system takes its power from the caravan leisure battery and it doesn't take much when compared to motor movers. Our system software is designed to protect the battery and, therefore, if the battery voltage is low then the hydraulic levelling system cannot be used and an alarm will sound on the control panel to indicate this. In the event your battery voltage is too low, you can hook up to the site electrics, or your towing vehicle to recharge it.

How long does it take to install on my caravan?

The levelling system installation can take upto 8 hours, depending on the caravan in question. You would therefore be required to leave your caravan with the Installer for a full working day (08:30 - 16:30 typically). Our Installation Partners will happily advise on any travel and accommodation questions you may have.

Is the warranty of my caravan affected by installing the levelsystem?

The warranty of the caravan manufacturer is not affected by the fitting of the Level C system. Caravan manufacturers fit corner steadies to their vans in line with guidance and approval from AL-KO, who supply the corner steadies. AL-KO have tested the E&P system and given their approval for our corner steady in a report which determined that the Level C system actually prevents too much force being applied through the corner steadies, when compared to a standard corner steady, thereby helping to protect the floor of the caravan. The E&P Level C system is compatible with all makes and model of caravan and is offered by various OEM’s as standard fitment, or as an optional extra, as well as being offered in the aftermarket only through our approved Partners.

Can I stand inside the caravan when the system is in operation?

No, the caravan needs to be empty, even if it's raining! Having people moving within the caravan will cause the level sensor to go out of synchronisation. It is also important that you keep watch on what is happening around and underneath the caravan, so get everyone involved in checking for hazards.

What is the current draw?

Normal conditions = 11 amp + 1-2 seconds at 17 amp when over pressurising to ensure all jacks are fully retracted. Extreme conditions (e.g. Cold weather) = 17 amp.
