I learnt a lesson recently when levelling on grass.

Dont level chocks on 1 front 1 back on the same side.

My Peugeot Boxer is front wheel drive so while the front wheel had traction on the chock my right front was on the grass...no traction....result rt wheel stuck in mud !!! Twisted Evil

Works ok on gravel though Very Happy

except I call them ramps! chocks are what I call those things I put in at the back/front of the other wheels. Great so long as you remember to remove them Embarassed

Prefer to reverse onto the ramps as well, though HWMNBO usually drives on. Rolling Eyes

HI

have i read somewhere or am i dreaming this that it is advisable not to use levelling devices under the rear wheels, something to do with them being rigid!!

ie only run your front wheels up blocks, which isnt always easy when the best view is the other way or it means siting your van door to door with the van next to you, not good if there isnt much space and they have children(!)

Re

Not sure about your van but mine has suspension on each wheel so it cant be ridged can it ?
I thought the idea of using blocks was to get a motor-home level not having to turn it around just to level the front up.
