Fitting Semi Air Suspension To Your Motorhome

[@markpullinger3916]

That was a really good in-depth video 😊 What some people don’t realise if you had an accident being over weight could course problems with your insurance

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you Mark, yes, it can cause you a big problem. It is always best to be safe. Have a great weekend 😊

I’ve personally been really pleased with how the Matrix now rides and handles with the addition on the semi air. It’s a yes from me 👍

[@PeterSharkey-l7d]

Thanks Karin for uploading we are currently having ours done on our new Coral, which we have yet to take delivery. Hopefully in a few days time.

[@HereWeTow]

Fantastic!! Enjoy your Coral once you hit the road..great choice 😊👍

Good video thanks. Expect you have more use now. Do you think the air suspension makes a significant difference to the ride quality, comfort and handling?

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching, yes, we have done about 4000 miles now on the air suspension and it has made a huge difference to the ride height, stability and smoothness. We have used it on assist with levelling a few times when we were just slightly off. It has also been useful to lift the back end when we went up a steep incline in a car park. So, if you were to ask me would I fit the semi air suspension..yes. 👍

Good video - really pleased with my self fitted system on our Apache 700. Night and day handling.

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching, yes, it makes a huge difference. 😊

[@PeterWalker-b1f]

Good clip. Should you mention the difference it makes to your driving licence or have I got this wrong? Pete

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching, the Motorhome was already over 3.5t so make no difference to ours needing C1 but yes, if you go from under to over you would need to make sure you have the category. I will be covering this in the uprating vlog.. but it’s an important point so well mentioned 😊 Have a great weekend

Good evening Karina , hope you and Jules are well and enjoying the upcoming weekend .

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching and good morning,we are filming for 2 days but not away in the Motorhome. Have a lovely weekend yourself 😊👍

[@AngelaWilliams-lu9if]

Fab video as usual - I’m always interested in the up plating or the down plating (in my case!) and I too got advice from SV Tech re down plating (so the kids could drive our Adria without their C1) and they were very helpful! Lovely sunny weekend - not sure where you are - but you are definitely no where near Yorkshire ! Spitting here! 😅

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching…yes, not as common having to downplate a motorhome 😜 We are at home this weekend and the weather is rubbish, I have the heating on. Have a good bank holiday and enjoy your next trip. We are off to Italy soon 👍😊

[@tribester07]

Very helpful. Was that the highest Gross and axle weights you could go to on that chassis??

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching, I am not at home so can’t check my paperwork but with the kits we added I think 4000kg was the highest, I seem to think it might have gone slightly higher with full air suspension, maybe 4200kg. I will be doing a video about the updating of the weight plate and axle limits so that information will be in that video. 😊

[@avanaroundtheworld]

Do you happen to have any more info on the actual parts you used? What Dunlop system was it?

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching, you would have to contact Cara Motorhomes who fitted the system for us. I don’t have the details of the parts used, sorry.

[@petermccall6880]

Usefully informative as always Katrina. I already have air on my Matrix but am interested in the front springs, do you have a cost for that element please?

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching, the front springs have made a massive difference. The Matrix sits much higher at the front now and it seems to improve the driving position, or that’s what I have found. I’m comparing it to my Adria Coral and Adria Compact too. The uprated springs including fitting would be about £800 including VAT at Cara. I don’t know what other dealerships charge. Have a good bank holiday weekend and enjoy your Matrix 😊👍

[@grahamm-l5l]

Very informative video Katrina. Are you able to confirm where the parts were purchased from and is the £1700 a fitted cost? Have a Sonic Supreme on order.

[@HereWeTow]

Good morning Graham, Cara Motorhomes ordered all the parts, they are excellent with Adria motorhomes so know what to order. Yes, that was the fitted cost and all the parts, including VAT, I don’t know if the price has gone up at all since the video was filmed but Cara would be able to give you a quote if you contact John there. Enjoy your Sonic, that is a stunning motorhome, good choice! There are some really good Adria Motorhome facebook groups too if you want to join any. All the best 😊

[@richardmaxwell7627]

Great vlog, does it increase the insurance premium? Thanks

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks for watching.. it hasn’t made any difference to ours but ours actually went down this year 😊👍

[@pamdooner9922]

Just wondering, is this still a loaned motorhome or have you bought it?

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching, currently still on loan, we would love to buy our own again.
