RV FEATURE
The pads provide a firm foundation for the electric legs .
The system includes a control panel mounted inside the vehicle , with indicator lights that show in which direction the van is sloping . Push a button and you ’ ll hear the legs begin to slowly drop . Then , you can push the auto-level button and the legs will lower and lift the lower sections of the van until it ’ s level .
These legs , by the way , are collectively rated to lift 6000kg and have enough travel to raise a wheel off the ground .
The system itself weighs 60kg , which obviously forms part of your van ’ s payload capacity , but that weight also includes the brackets .
While you ’ d mostly use the Redfoot ’ s auto-levelling function , each leg can be manually adjusted if necessary . For example , you might want to empty a water tank faster , and what better way to do that than by jacking up one side of the van ?
Once the system is satisfied that the van is level , a green LED in the centre of the control panel will light up , indicating that the job is done . It takes less than a minute to get to this point .
When it ’ s time to hit the road , just hit the ‘ Get Up ’ button , which tells the legs to retract . Push it once more and the legs will fold up snuggly against the chassis where they won ’ t snag on anything .
