Air suspension and leveling options (1 Viewer)

[Andacami]

Hi All,

I'm researching air suspension and auto-leveling as an upgrade to my Auto-Sleepers Corinium Duo 2017 on a Boxer-Al-Ko at 4000kg. I understand that none of the systems will be self-fit due to the Al-Ko which is a shame as I'm reasonably handy at motor DIY. My expectation then is that I already need to pay someone to fit

My questions to the experienced are;

• Should I go for a leveling system AND a semi-air system at the rear as a good solution to ride comfort and stability, and ability to self-level, or;
• Should I go for a full-air system that will do both?
• Does full-air give the range of leveling that the hydraulic ram systems do?
• What are the cost implications of each?

Assuming I'm no longer in the £500.00 self-fit camp, I'm probably looking at £2k for mid-range rear semi-air at a minimum; hence wondering where the next price break is and for what benefit.

Thanks as ever, for your advice

Fitting a levelling system isn’t all about levelling, the main benefit is stability which full air won’t give you.
We went for air assistance on our Alko rear axle and HPC hydraulic system from AS Suspension in Warrington.
The air was around £1750 and the HPC £5000. A lot of money and two or three years ago. Really glad we went ahead with both, much improved axle control and comfort, plus stability and level parking.

We have done exactly the same as Hettie's Crew above and having used AS Airsuspension on our last three motorhomes are happy to recommend them in all respects.

Thanks, both. Had not fully appreciated the "stability" element of leveling systems - this is an added bonus, especially on the wallowy Corniunium rear end
