After completing your drive to a campsite, it can feel like a lot of effort to manoeuvre your tourer onto some bits of plastic. However, a pair of the best caravan levelling ramps can have a big impact on your touring experience, ensuring your tourer is pitched flat, as opposed to at an angle.
Caravans are designed to be level. After all, levelling a caravan helps your fridge to operate properly and ensures the shower tray will not overflow when you’re washing. It will also save you from having to walk at an angle to get from one end of your van to the other. In short, they’re something of a caravan essential.
Generally made with durable plastic, these tough products are able to raise each side of your tourer, allowing you to achieve a level caravan. Whether you choose to use one of the best caravan motor movers or prefer to drive onto them to get your tourer perfectly pitched is up to you, but upon completion, you’ll be well set to enjoy a more comfortable stay.
To help you find the best caravan levelling ramps, we’re sharing our top picks on the market, featuring options from Milenco, Fiamma, Thule and more.

The best caravan levelling ramps:
Milenco 2936 Triple Caravan Levels
- Dimensions: 61cm x 24.5cm x 18cm (length x width x height)
Reason to buy:
- Suitable for softer grounds
Reason to avoid:
- Fairly pricey
These Milenco levelling ramps are a UV-resistant option that allows caravanners to raise their vans by 40mm, 80mm or 120mm. As they are made from polyethylene, they should provide durability and can bear up to 1,500kg.
We like how they offer a solid base, ensuring they will be effective on softer ground without running the risk of sinking. There’s also a high grip leading edge to prevent slippages occurring during the approach, while the weight of just over 5kg should mean they are fairly easy to move around.
All in all, we think this is a highly robust option to consider, even if it is fairly pricey.
Thule Caravan and Motorhome Ramps
- Dimensions: 55cm x 20cm x 15cm (length x width x height)
Reason to buy:
- Extra wide to offer good stability
Reason to avoid:
- Not as long as some options
Caravanners are likely to recognise Thule, a well-known name in the touring world.
In the case of these Thule ramps, we like how they offer a good width, coming to 202mm – this means they’re not only a highly stable option, but also offer plenty of sturdiness. We appreciate the convenience of the storage bag they come with too.
They allow caravanners to raise their tourers by 44mm, 78mm or 112mm, providing a good range of heights. Thanks to their weight of around 4kg, they should be fairly portable too. However, we should highlight the length of only 55cm – this makes them the shortest of the options in our guide.
Milenco Wedge Level MGI XL Twin Pack Levellers
- Dimensions: 66cm x 21.5cm x 15cm (length x width x height)
Reason to buy:
- Provide a flat surface to precisely manoeuvre your tourer
Reason to avoid:
- Chocks may be needed to achieve extra stability
We reckon this pair of caravan levelling ramps will be ideal for those who need a longer and wider option. Their flat surface means you will be able to accurately and precisely position your tourer on the non slip product. No gripper plates will be required either, thanks to the high grip leading edge.
Coming with side handles for straightforward carrying, we like how they should offer a good surface area for getting your tourer in position. At 2.1kg each, we’re also fans of their portability.
Combine this with the weight limit of up to 1000kg per wheel and we think they’re a good option for caravanners in need of some levelling ramps. However, unlike some of the options in our guide, you may want to have some chocks for an extra stable caravan.
Fiamma Level Up Kit
- Dimensions: 57cm x 20cm x 13cm (length x width x height)
Reason to buy:
- Lightweight option which comes with its own bag
Reason to avoid:
- Better heights available
One of our favourite features with these levelling ramps is the serrated edge – this means you get a firm grip for some peace of mind. We also like how the UV-resistant polyethylene material they’re made from should give you a durable product. The ramps offer three heights of 40mm, 70mm and 100mm – however if you know you’ll be pitching up on slopes, one of the options with more height could be worth considering.
A feature we like is how this pair comes with their own carry bag – this may not be a dealbreaker but we appreciate how it makes storage a lot simpler. If the weight is an important factor for you, we’d recommend this Fiamma set – it comes in at just over 2kg, making them one of the lightest options in our guide.
Maypole MP4607 Multi-Level Ramp Set
- Dimensions: 59cm x 23cm x 13cm (length x width x height)
Reason to buy:
- Reasonably priced
Reason to avoid:
- The highest of the three positions is only 100mm
Maypole is another recognisable name in the touring sphere. We think this multi-level set is a good option for caravanners to consider, offering three levels that can raise your tourer by 40mm, 70mm or 100mm. However, like the Fiamma set, we’d recommend considering a set with a higher position if you think you’ll be on sloping pitches.
Despite an impressive load capacity of 1,250kg per wheel, we’re fans of how Maypole has managed to keep them fairly light, with a weight of only 3.2kg. While some in our guide are more portable, we think it still gives you a highly manoeuvrable pair of caravan levelling ramps.
Milenco 4923 Trident Levels
- Dimensions: 81cm x 24.5cm x 20cm (length x width x height)
Reason to buy:
- Feels quite sturdy, shouldn’t need chocks
Reason to avoid:
- Most expensive option
This is the most expensive set of levelling ramps in our guide, but we like how secure this Milenco pair feels, meaning you should be able to forego chocks.
It’s worth highlighting the downside of this setup – they’re not going to be as accurate as a flat surface would be when you’re levelling. However, if you’re on a sloping pitch, it will be highly useful, letting you raise the wheels by 40mm, 110mm or 17mm. Usefully, they come with a storage bag too.
If you prefer the option of an additional level, there is also a Quattro Level in the range, which offers a height of up to 180mm.
What happens if a caravan is not level?
Fundamentally, there’s nothing stopping you from pitching up and having a caravan that’s not completely flat. However, it will have an impact on your tour in a couple of ways. Firstly, you’re going to be walking uphill to get from one end of your tourer to the other, which may not be conducive to an enjoyable campsite experience.
That’s not the only reason though. After all, a caravan’s waste pipe system, as well as the handbasin, the sink and the shower drains, are all designed to be used when the caravan is flat. Failing to achieve this could lead to water pooling in the shower tray, the basin and the sink, preventing your van from achieving proper drainage.
How to choose the best caravan levelling ramps
To begin, ensure the caravan levelling ramps you have in mind are able to support the weight of your tourer – after all, if you have a big twin-axle van, there’s no point buying a set that will not be able to take its weight. Make sure they’re suitable for the type of surface you’ll be pitching up on too – for instance, some of the options in our guide are better suited to softer ground, while other options are ideal for sloping pitches. Once you know where you’re likely to tour, you’ll be well placed for choosing the set for you.
