Not much fun in December or January unless you can guarantee me 30°c

You wouldn’t get in that soon, they’re usually booked up for months.

Yes I like the look of the E&P system, and the controller is much nicer than the others. I contacted M-level today, they were extremely knowledgeable about the product, and of course its much cheaper and British made. However I didn't like the fact that the hydraulic motor is only protected by a bit of heat shrink plastic. I really like the look off the HY4 system which can be easily removed if you change vehicle and all parts are extremely well protected by solid plastic covers, it also extends further than the E&P and the M-Level and has more ground clearance than the M-Level. However it is more expensive. I don't know if anyone on here has experience with the HY4 system who could comment ?

I had the Alko HY4 system on my 2022 Carthago Compactline A Class. Fitted by the previous owner - worked perfectly. I liked the fact it didn't have a central pump so the installation was very neat.

I would have had the same fitted to my new ML-t Hymer but Alko don't make suitable rams for the All Wheel Drive Model.

I'm having the Amplo Levelling system fitted this month - it's cheaper than the E&P and M-Level sytems, also the main distributor is less than an hour from me. I visited their premises, had a full demo of the system and inspected an installation they were currently in progress with.

We have the HY4 on a 2023 Fiat, its a 7m Pilote 696, 3500kg, had it a year and love it, I like the seperate pumps and nothing inside the van except the remote tucked under the dash, we also have the app option with the weight function.
We use virtually every time we stop, Madame is a wheelchair user and life is easier when everything is level, it wasn´t cheap but well worth it and we wished we had done it on the previous MH.
We had it done in Austria which is close to us, it took a day ( having pre-ordered ) to fit.

Would you mind letting me know how it is once fitted. I'm not picking the motorhome up from the dealer until March, so I have time.

Will do !

I'll add the info to the thread I've got running here - Modding the Hymer ML-t 580 4x4.

We have the HPC system on our Travel Van, fitted by LNB in Bristol. Having a 3.5tonne van meant weight was an issue which really swung us to the HPC system. It's installed under the van in a metal box which was a few £ extra. Overall weight is slightly over 50Kg but I no longer have to carry ramps or a jack which saves a few Kg. Initially I was concerned that the rear jacks were a bit low but so far they haven't been a problem including bumping on/off a ferry. We'd be lost without it now and not just for getting level. During storage I can not only take the weight off the tyres but tip it slightly so the rain doesn't pool on the roof.

I see that AL-KO now have lighter weight Carbon rams for PVCs, interesting that they are thinking about the 3500kg market ..

Hi, after a lot of research I opted to get HPC levelling system fitted to my Adria compact as I live in Scotland i went to Haven off grid who are agents for hpc (first mistake) was told need vehicle for two days week later went to collect it then a few days later I got a text asking if I was happy with the job and leave a review, I thought I would have a look under the vehicle to check
Not good hydraulic hoses were a mess running over brake pipes no protection also fitted over rear torsion bar again no protection also fitted pump through the floor using washers made from plywood I have phoned and sent numerous emails without getting any reply’s, that’s when I contacted Glde-rite, Carl who is the main man and was really helpful said if i was willing to go down to his place he would sort out the hoses free of charge ,went down and they were a bit surprised by the way hoses and pump were fitted especially the plywood washers after a couple of hours job was a good one , only wish I had went down there in the first place,
Ps I have emailed haven off grid for expense’s, fuel and overnight stay no reply

The HPC product is first class, unfortunately there are now quite a few ‘fitters’ who claim to be experienced. When we had ours done in 2018 I travelled across country, staying locally overnight to get it done by AS Air Suspension in Warrington who have been agents far longer than anyone else, are extremely knowledgeable regarding the system and the different motorhome chassis’s.
Put something on those hydraulic pipe metal ends to protect them from corrosion, even though they appear to be galvanised, a couple of mine started to rust.

I was going to go for HPC called in at the nearest fitter to us, they gave me no confidence at all. So had E&P fitted by Rosmia, very pleased with the result.
