Adjustable Legs

Have a look at the pics in my rig page. You can just make out the legs. Basically i have telescoped 3 different diameters of square tube steel with the thickest one bolted to the kitchen.

A supporting bracket is welded between the bottom legs. Legs are secured when the kitchen is out by welding a nut to the larger tube steel and screwing a bolt through it.

It was easy to make, very strong, the only thing is the supporting bracket between the bottom legs has to exactly square.

Neil, I have seen a couple done using extendable tent poles (cut down of course). Secured to the side of the unit using hose clamp brackets (bolted down tightly). The inner tube leg just get dropped to the height you want and secured with the screw lock on the tent pole.

When you make the legs out of RHS use the heavier wall section as your outside part if possible. And weld the nut for the lock screw on the corner, not the face (like the pic below). This provides for a more stable lock as it pushes the inner part into the corner.

If you want a self levvelling foot for the base contact someone that sels standard machine parts. UES, D&D BArry in Sydney, Dotmar EPP, etc.

Good luck.

Hi Neil
I have been through the same exercise. I started of with a 2 legged attachment that folded down to support the leg. It worked fine on flat ground but with a slope it was a pain having to chock up one side or the other to get things level.... so I ended up buying a metal fitting from a local shop which was basically a tube within a tube that when pulled out had a small pushbutton pin pop out into a hole in the outer piping. There is a hole about every 2 cm in the outer pipe so the range of extension of the leg is from 2cm to about 50cm. The fitting is strong and because the kitchen is supported at the other end by the trailer, it is very stable. The outer pipe is attached to the middle at the end of the kitchen by some fitting I made up. Because it is only on one leg it doesn't matter what the slope is as along as the camper is reasonably level.
