Troubleshooting
Axle stand does not seem stable.
Ensure the stand is placed on a firm, level surface. Check that the caravan's weight is distributed correctly and the stand is fully engaged with the jacking point.
Difficulty adjusting the height.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the adjustment mechanism. Try gently rocking the stand to free up the mechanism if it is stiff.
