Kojack - lifting aid
Halfords had a deal on the Kojack hydraulic caravan scissor jack and levelling aid. I thought it would it would be a good investment for safe lifting of the caravan.

 First thing to do, read the instructions.
|
 All the parts needed for fitting.
|
On an Alko chassis (after 1992), these two pre-drilled holes are provided for fitting, just behind the wheel.
|
|
 After ensuring the caravan is level, the bracket, labelled "offside" is attached with bolts and nyloc nuts through the pre-drilled holes.
|
Keeping the bracket level, the nuts are torqued to 86Nm.
|
On the nearside the axle spirit level needed adjustment.
|
|
Slackening the screws and adjusting cured it.
|
In use, feels safer than using a jack under the axle and being hydraulic its easy too.
|
|
In case of a puncture I carried a car scissor jack. Never had to use it "for real" but I did a trial lift and it was hard work.
The Kojack is very easy to use and much safer.
Cost: £40 from Halfords, on special offer.
