October 20, 2025Oct 20 Our static is being delivered next week and as a result of short timescales and lack of availability, I'm siting it with a chap who has a 4x4 and a 1.7t excavator. What I want to know is whether I need to buy axle stands or whether it's best to just put it on blocks? Any tips from those who've sited one themselves welcomed.
October 20, 2025Oct 20 Best on blocks, I'd say. We had ours installed by the dealer we bought the 'van from, & they told me to get the ground as level as possible & have plenty of blocks to hand. Perhaps they fine tuned the levels with off cuts of wood & old slates - I don't remember now.
October 21, 2025Oct 21 I supported our static on these: https://mystatic.co.uk/static-caravan-axle-stand-medium?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=18389908304&gbraid=0AAAAAC5hZe7h_azbtkOUPbU3MmfJvLwm1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7I_f6a-1kAMVV5WDBx0SDBkeEAQYBCABEgJMhPD_BwE each placed on a concrete paving slab. Took about 30 minutes and zero movement in 4 years. Trying to level the thing by using spacers and wedges just sounds like an absolute PITA.
