We bought a rear air suspension assistance from Airide by Puncture Control at the NEC Motorhome Show this year for our Fiat Ducato leaf sprung motorhome.
This vlog shows the fitting of it and our thoughts before and afterwards. We are VERY pleased :)
Also, we had Oko tyre sealant fitted by Puncture Control.

Rob fitted (both) the middle of last year before we travelled to Ireland it made such a difference the vehicle was very stable and the puncture control put me completely at ease. I would advise anyone with a motorhome to get this fitted.

I’m here as we speak while Gary is doing the install on my motorhome. Thank you for the great video, if it wasn’t for you guys this wouldn’t be happening today and I’d be forever putting planks of wood under my motorhome to get it on and off the drive. 😊

Thank you for the Vlog. We had our air springs done today. The young guys from AIRIDE were very polite, tidy and efficient. Love the fact they were able to complete the work on our drive. Also even though your vlog was filmed last year they still gave me the discount. Cheers 👍

I've got some to fit to mine at some point - just ones that you pump up and leave which should do me. I wouldn't fancy being under the van with just those jacks and I'm aghast at them letting the tyres down like that, they should have done whilst it was still on jacks.
@davidl1338
@davidl1338 Год назад
100% right on jacks and tyres! I fitted the rear assist to my van, but they actually made no difference as already had triple-leaf Extra HD Rear Springs fitted, so to get any lift meant running over max pressure. oh well :(

Genny is fitted with "another brand" of air suspension but on all 3 axles... totally agree with your comments... reduces the road noise... reduces the swing and sway when passing or being passed by lorries. Reduces the roll, one thing we found it made doing some tight corners at a *fair* speed a little hairy.... you have to slow down for them... also love that you can tilt the motorhome to assist to empty tanks completely.....

It is a great set up isn’t it? Yes, we tilted ours to empty the tanks on the next vlog 👍🏻

Hi. Another excellent video. Just on Sunnyside Croft caravan site at Arisaig and our neighbour on the adjoining pitch has the air suspension and self levelling system fitted to his campervan. He gave me a demo and I was very impressed. I will be getting quotes when we get home.

Slaw will think he's driving a Rolls Royce with that air suspension. You know how easily he gets confused, especially when he's had three hundred pints. All best, Steve from Halifax. You know the one in Yorkshire.

Hi, great video. Did you have to inform your insurance of the suspension upgrade? And if so did it effect the policy in any way? Thanks

Thank you. Yes we informed the insurance company and they charged a £21 admin fee to log it.

After having it fitted for sometime now, what pressure do you typically run at? I’m still trying to find the sweet spot between comfort and stiffness. Depending on rear axle load lm finding circa 25 psi.

Hi just wondering if you know what they increase the rear axle load limit to? Normally a Ducato is at 2000kg I'm sure the guy on the video said 2.8 ton for the pair

Is there any reason the compressor can't be mounted in the rear garage?

I think it’s because the gauges and air valves are in the dashboard so it’s close. Not sure on garage as it’s far away from gauges.
