HOW IT WORKS
The Redfoot system is currently only available to use on the three popular European motorhome base vehicles used in Australia : Renault Master , Fiat Ducato and Mercedes Sprinter . However , this product , which is built in Italy and made available in Australia by Titan RV in Queensland , will soon be available for caravans and other motorhome base vehicles .
How does it work ? The system involves four electric jacks fitted to each corner of the chassis . They fold up , well and truly out of harm ’ s way when not in use . But at the push of a button , these jacks will deploy and automatically level the van in less than a minute .
We checked out this system after it had been fitted to a Windsor motorhome , owned by a solo traveller named Ceryn . She told us that she opted for the Redfoot because it was a more affordable levelling system than other autolevelling products on the market , and only took half the time for a specialist to fit .
“ It was an expense but it was an expense worth spending money on – the convenience outweighs the money I have spent on it . Just being able to push a button without getting out of my motorhome makes it very worthwhile ,” she said .
The kit includes four red polyethylene pads to place under each jack , along with a useful tool that will help you slide them into place and remove them when it ' s time to hit the road .
