Air suspension

[bobnick]

I have air suspension on my MoHo. It was fitted to increase the loading from 3500 to 3650.
When i eventually get the V5 back the loading should have been reduced to 3500 as i don't have the C1 license.

The question is, what pressure should i be running the MoHo on normal driving assuming i am under 3500. The guy i bought the van off say's i should run at 40 PSi. When parked i should drop the pressure to 0. Pump up again to 40 PSi when on the road???? Advice welcome.

Run mine at 2.5bar why deflate?

Run mine at 2.5bar, sometimes up at 3bar, but do drop mine when parked up, as it drops the arse so water runs off the roof better. If not I wouldn’t bother to.

Run ours at 2.5 bar (36 PSI) and you should never leave your airbags empty, the manufacturer of our kit said leave a pressure of 1 bar (14 PSI) in the airbags to maintain the shape if the vehicle is not being used for a period of time.

2.5 - 3bar

We just had it fitted last week. Chap said any more than 1bar and we could park a Fiat 500 under the back end

You should not let all of the air out as it damages the rubber assistors.

The difference with zero air and 3bar in my air assist is three inches under the towball, so the Fiat 500 would need a good run up or be an Arbarth

A bit of a task, what I did with ours as follows empty everything out of van inc water and gas bottles let air out of bage, measure height from rear jacking points to ground. Load everything back in pump up bags to get same height as empty. Don’t move the van with no air in the bags as you may damage them.
