We are parked up for two months in Spain and were wonderimg what other people did about being on levellers for this long. We are in first gear with the handbrake on.
Can anyone foresee any problems with this arrangement?

Only thing I would do differently if you don't intend to turn a wheel for two months would be to put chocks behind the wheels and leave the handbrake off (still in gear). Brakes tend to stick on after a long period.

Good advice to which I would add, take a gentle drive around after leaving campsite and test brakes etc.
Told by a friend yesterday that on leaving a meet at Benidorm last week where she had been for a while, front brakes were locked solid..caused them no end of problems, particularly as only discovered problem on Autovia, drums were red hot.
What type of levellers are they? I ask, as some of them, black coloured allow the wheel to sit in a recess, and in my view, if the wheel is not sat perfectly in the recess, then this puts pressure in the tyres.
I agree with parking with the handbrake off. I would however move the van, even if only a few inches so that the same bit of tyre is not taking the wear and tear.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I would also cover the tyres to protect from the hot sun
