Knowing how much the caravan tilts to enable you to lift the nearside wheel to put the lock on you are putting quite a strain on the offside rear steady. Maybe a chock under the offside rear wheel would be better when you lower the centre ram would be better.

I opted for the larger diameter footplates and plastic covers on the axle rams when I had the E&P fitted. This does away with the need to get underneath the caravan to position pads under the rams.

What a good idea - wish Swift offered me that option when I ordered the van.....😍

I’d be very careful dropping the front or rear steadies then raising the van with the centre rams. You’re putting a lot of strain and twisting on the pair of steadies and your chassis. On my Buccaneer, I only raise the van with the onside centre ram whilst I put the locks on. At most I put the offside ram down too just to take the weight as it tips if I’m on an uneven pitch. I used to then do what you’ve done here and raise everything to auto level, but I now just level in manual mode as I find it quicker rather then raising everything again.
