I was hoping to get a direct answer from sv tech however despite sending 2 emails to sv tech both with read receipts confirming Gareth has read said emails he has not had the common courtesy to reply. To which I am extremely peeved off with to say the least. Yes I know I could ring. However due to workloads it's not possible atm. Anyone else have issues trying to get svtech to respond to emails.?
So I am hoping someone on here can answer my questions.
I am still looking to purchase an a class rapido however I am aware the payloads are shite. So I am looking at upgrade options.
I am looking at 06-11 models and I am aware these were built on fiat camper,alko and merc chassis.
From my research I know these can be upgraded paper only to either 3700 or 3800. However I wish to know to what level for which chassis.
I am prob looking to upgrade further and heard peeps have gone over 4t using air suspension. However again is this for a certain chassis? And would I need to upgrade to 16 inch wheels. I belive one of the chassis can go to 4250 on 15inch wheels. Read it somewhere but cannot find post on another site.
I would rather get this information prior to purchasing a motorhome as this will determine my purchase budget. I know i have to spend money upgrading but don't wasn't to find out bought a vehicle which can only go to 3700 when a different model could go a lot further.
Appreciate upgrade may cost 500-1000 maybe more but with a family of 4 I need it. If anyone has approx cost for air suspension upgrades would be appreciated.
Yes I could choose a different manufacture however I really like build quality of rapido's and the layout. Also like Idea if air suspension giving better ride.
Appreciate any assistance anyone can provide.
Thanks in advance.
