Van movement when trying to sleep

[NickE]

Yes, I've had van rocking problems when trying to sleep from day one. I've tried various solutions but best so far is bottle jacks on each (of the four) jacking points.
You will probably need to make a connector that fits the jack top and the jacking point as most bottle jacks don't fit directly. You also need a plate to spread the load under the jack.
On soft ground you will still some get rocking.
Is it a faff? Yes. Is it worth the effort? I think so. 5-10 minutes or so of messing around results in a vastly better night's sleep.

If you suffer from this problem it's due to:-
1. Insufficient physical exercise during day.
2. Insufficient C2H5OH in the evening.

Fix those 2 items and the problem goes away, to be replaced by more frequent nightime visits to the loo.

During my trip to Norway never used the windscreen and front window blinds. Leftover from 40+ yrs of On-Call. Sleep anywhere, anytime.
