Is it possible to use the corner steadies to support the caravan while changing a wheel, or do you defo need a jack?

Where's the best place to get new rims?

Caravan Club advice is to NOT use the steadies as jacks.  They suggest using a jack to raise the van, then lowering the steadies to give support whilst you change the wheel, raise the steadies and then lower the van from the jack.

Hope this helps.

You definitely need a jack-the steadies are simply there to "steady" the 'van.

Any caravan dealer should be able to sort you out with new rims.

Thanks fellas,

I've done it - used a jack - it was easier than I thought - got some wheel trims as well - didn't need to replace the rims
