After a wearying drive, trying to steer your ‘van up onto a couple of plastic wedges can seem like a faff, but using a pair of the best motorhome levelling ramps to make sure your vehicle is level can make a difference to your night’s sleep, help your fridge work properly and stop your shower tray from overflowing.
In many ways, these useful accessories are similar to the best motorhome sat nav – they just make your touring experience easier. Levelling ramps prevent you from having your motorhome pitched up at an angle, saving you from walking downhill to get to the washroom or watching the best motorhome TV at an angle in the lounge. After all, a motorhome should be as comfortable a base as possible, and in the same way you wouldn’t want to walk up a slope in your house, why would you in your home on wheels?
Even if your pitch is relatively flat, our technical expert, Diamond Dave, advises that minor adjustments can still be required, due to many motorhomes having a slightly nose-down stance. As a result, making sure you have your ramps – and knowing how to level a motorhome – can make a real difference to your tours. Our final word of advice – don’t forget to pack them away at the end of your tour!
In this guide, we’re sharing our top choices for the best motorhome levelling ramps, featuring some well-known names in the touring accessory world, including Milenco, Fiamma and Outdoor Revolution.

Milenco 4923 Trident Levels
Milenco Wedge Level MGI XL Twin Pack Levellers
Thule Caravan and Motorhome Ramps
Fiamma Level Up Kit
Milenco Triple Level Pair
Outdoor Revolution Eco Combi Multi-Level Ramp Set
Maypole MP4607 Multi-Level Ramp Set
The best motorhome levelling ramps are:
Milenco 4923 Trident Levels
- Dimensions: 20 x 24.5 x 81 (H x W x L in cm)
- Weight: 3.8kg (per ramp)
Reason to buy:
- Robust, can take up to 6000kg, reaches up to 17cm
Reason to avoid:
- Not as accurate as some
This heavy and robust set of Milenco levelling ramps offer three steps, a feature we like as it should help you achieve more secure levelling. We think they offer a good range of heights, with the three steps coming to 4cm, 11cm and 17cm – thanks to the pocketing of the wheels, these ramps have the subsequent benefit of meaning you shouldn’t need to bring chocks as well.
We’d advise making sure you factor in the weight of the ramps – after all, you’ll need to get them into position. These come to 3.8kg per ramp, which are among the heavier options in our list.
Something else we should point out is that such a set up means they are not going to be as accurate as flat surface levels, but these durable motorhome levelling ramps are capable of taking ‘vans weighing up to 6000kg. For convenience, they come with a storage bag too, helping to limit the chances of misplacing one of them.
Milenco Wedge Level MGI XL Twin Pack Levellers
- Dimensions: 15 x 21.5 x 66 (H x W x L in cm)
- Weight: 2.1kg per level
Reason to buy:
- Flat surface for precision manoeuvring, quite lightweight
Reason to avoid:
- Only suitable for motorhomes weighing less than 4000kg
Extra wide and with side handles to prevent any risk of you ever trapping your hands under the wheel, these strong plastic wedges have a flat surface to allow you to manoeuvre as precisely as possible. They’re lightweight to move too, weighing only 2.1kg each.
They should be able to keep any motorhome weighing up to 4000kg on the level, so if that’s not enough, it could be worth considering one of the options capable of taking weights of up to 5000kg or even the more versatile (but more expensive) Milenco Trident Levels, which can take an impressive 6000kg.
Thule Caravan and Motorhome Ramps
- Dimensions: 56 x 20 (L x W in cm)
- Weight: 3.6kg
Reason to buy:
- Extra wide, weight up to 5000kg
Reason to avoid:
- Only three positions
Thule is another well-known name in the touring world, making reliable accessories for motorhome owners. In the case of these levelling ramps, we appreciate the fact that they come with their own storage bag, with the ramps themselves capable of raising a wheel by 44mm, 78mm, or a maximum of 112mm.
We like how their width of 202mm also makes them extra sturdy and means they are just as suitable for wider tyres. They can hold motorhomes weighing up to 5000kg, an amount that is only surpassed by two of the Milenco options in our guide.
Fiamma Level Up Kit
- Dimensions: 57 x 20 x 13 (L x W x H in cm)
- Weight: 1.45kg (per ramp)
Reason to buy:
- Lightweight, can carry up to 5000kg, come with their own bag
Reason to avoid:
- Only three levels
This set of levelling ramps is made by Fiamma, a well-known manufacturer of accessories within the leisure vehicle industry. The Level Up Kit is made out of UV-resistant polyethylene, and we like how they come with their own bag to make storage that bit easier. Three different levels are provided – 4cm, 7cm, and 10 cm, with the ramps capable of bearing a motorhome weighing a maximum of 5000kg. We also like how they are made with a serrated edge to ensure a firm grip.
If finding a lightweight and portable option is an important factor for you when you’re picking the best motorhome levelling ramps, this pair could be the one for you. They come to 1.45kg each, making the Fiamma pair one of the lighter sets of wedges to feature in our guide.
Milenco Triple Level Pair
- Dimensions: 18 x 24.5 x 61 (H x W x L in cm)
- Weight: 2.5kg (per levelling ramp)
Reason to buy:
- Offers a good range of heights
Reason to avoid:
- More lightweight options available
Offering a good range of heights – 40mm, 80mm and 120mm, this Triple Level Pair of levelling ramps comes with a high-grip upper tread surface and also means you won’t have to bring chocks with you.
We like how the solid base should help to keep the levelling ramps stable on softer ground, while the inclusion of a high grip leading edge will prevent slipping. Despite being capable of bearing a weight of up to 6000kg, they’re relatively lightweight, coming in at 2.5kg per levelling ramp. However, if weight is an important factor, there are lighter choices available in our guide, as well as options which can reach higher heights.
Maypole MP4607 Multi-Level Ramp Set
- Dimensions: 59 x 23.5 x 13 (L x W x H in cm)
- Weight: 3.2kg
Reason to buy:
- Lightweight, reasonable price
Reason to avoid:
- Only three levels, the highest of which is only 100mm
This pair of wedges offer three different levels – raising wheels by 40mm, 70mm and 100mm – and can cater for motorhomes weighing up to 5000kg. Weighing just 3.2kg, these levelling ramps are also among the lighter wedges in our round-up.
They have a wide non-slip surface, which should help to improve the stability, and we like how they come with a storage bag as well, which we reckon should help to prevent one being misplaced.

Outdoor Revolution Eco Combi Ramp Set
- Weight: 5.47kg
- Size: 75 x 17.5 x 24.5 (in cm)
Reason to buy:
- Come with soft ground mats and chocks
Reason to avoid:
- Fairly pricy
This pair of levelling ramps from Outdoor Revolution is made with recycled and ethically sourced plastics. We like how the set comes with two height adjustable wheel chocks to help you achieve a level pitch. Each of the robust levelling ramps is capable of taking 2000kg, offering plenty of flexibility should you upgrade your ‘van.
We also like the inclusion of the two soft ground mats that come with the ramps. This should help to limit sinking, if you find your pitch is on less firm ground. Something we will highlight is they are relatively weighty, coming in at over 5kg. However, we reckon the six-piece set should help you achieve a stable and level ‘van.
Do I need motorhome levelling ramps?
Fundamentally, there is nothing saying you have to use levelling ramps if you find your motorhome is pitched up at an angle. If you’re happy touring with it, that’s up to you.
However, a level motorhome does have its advantages – after all, would you want to walk uphill to get from one end of your ‘van to the other? This can, in turn, not only help you sleep better in the evening, but could also prevent the shower tray from overflowing as it will be able to drain easier.
How to choose the best motorhome levelling ramps
The best motorhome levelling ramps will allow you to achieve a level ‘van, so you’re not walking up an incline or decline whenever you want to get from one end of your ‘van to the other. To make sure you’re choosing the right pair, there are a few points we’d recommend considering.
Firstly, think about what type you want. Levelling ramps generally come with a surface that is either straight up or rises in steps. The former let you get much more accurate with your levelling, but the stepped ones are a perfectly good alternative – and give you extra reassurance that the wheels aren’t going to slide down again.
Levelling ramps are made from robust and durable plastic to allow them to bear the weight of your motorhome, but do check the exact weight of your ‘van and see how it compares to what the ramps are able to take too. Otherwise, you’ll quickly find they are not up to the task.
Finally, ensure they are going to be wide enough to take the width of your motorhome tyres.
