Levelling Service Explained

A levelling system service is a preventative maintenance check carried out by a specialist technician to make sure your motorhome’s automatic levelling system continues to work correctly. During the service, the technician will inspect the hydraulic or electric legs, check the pump and fluid levels (if applicable), examine hoses and fittings, and test the control system to confirm that the jacks deploy and retract properly.

Because levelling systems are mounted underneath the motorhome and exposed to road dirt, water, and corrosion, regular servicing helps keep all moving parts in good condition. A yearly service also allows small issues-such as minor leaks, calibration drift, or electrical faults- to be detected early, helping prevent unexpected failures while you are travelling or parked on site.

During an annual levelling system service, technicians carry out a full inspection of the system’s key components. This usually includes checking the hydraulic or electric legs for wear or corrosion, inspecting the chrome rams, examining hoses and fittings for leaks, and ensuring the mounting points are secure.

The system will also be tested electronically to make sure the control panel, sensors, and pump operate correctly. The technician may run a full levelling cycle, check calibration, and confirm that the system retracts and deploys smoothly and safely.

In most cases, a routine levelling system service can be completed within one to two hours. This allows enough time for a full inspection, operational testing, and any minor adjustments that may be required.

However, the exact time can vary depending on the system type and whether any issues are found during the inspection. If repairs, part replacements, or recalibration are needed, the technician will usually discuss this with the owner before carrying out additional work.

The price of servicing an automatic levelling system can vary depending on the brand of system, the complexity of the setup, and the workshop carrying out the service. Most routine services fall within the £100–£200 range when no additional parts are required.

If any issues are identified during the inspection, there may be additional costs for replacement parts or repairs. However, regular servicing can often save money in the long run by identifying minor issues early before they develop into costly failures.

Over time, levelling systems can develop small problems due to constant exposure to the elements and regular use during trips. Without regular inspection, issues like leaking hydraulic connections, worn seals, corrosion on the jack legs, or loose electrical wiring can go unnoticed.

An annual service allows these potential problems to be identified early and corrected before they affect the performance of the system. This helps avoid situations where the levelling system fails to deploy or retract properly while you are travelling or parked at a campsite.

Many automatic levelling system manufacturers recommend or require routine servicing to keep the system operating within warranty guidelines. Keeping up with regular maintenance demonstrates that the equipment has been properly cared for and reduces the likelihood of major failures.

In addition, having a documented service history can be a valuable selling point if you decide to sell your motorhome in the future. Buyers often appreciate proof that key systems such as the levelling system have been professionally maintained.

“We arrived at Llanfyllin, and it was raining so hard it was difficult to find our plot. Once parked up, it took just 90 seconds as we let our automatic levelling system get us level. Thank you, Bristol Caravans, for fitting our amazing levelling system.”
