Full Air Suspension FAIL | Full-time MOTORHOME Living UK

After getting our Motorhome back from Service, we woke up one day to find we had a Full Air Suspension System Fail!
The E&P Self Levelling Motorhome Air Suspension had completely deflated on one side. It has an emergency manual pump but it soon deflated again
As we live full time in the Motorhome, we needed to get it sorted fast

    It must have been knowing he had his assistant on hand to help him that have him the confidence 🤣 Yeah I think plans need to be very fluid at the moment, that’s why we’re not making many! Hope you’re both well, catch you out and about later this year 🤞🏼 x

    Great vlog guys, glad you got the suspension sorted out, yeah a motorhome pinning down its owner would definitely gets alot of views and probably go viral 😂. Yeah it amazes me they can't get out to road repairs but they have been able to fit hundreds if not thousands of average speed cameras across the country lol. Hope yous have a great week and Best wishes and stay safe and well to you both and your families ❤️ 💙 ❤️ 💙 ❤️ and the girls too 🐾

    Aw thank you! Yeah so so glad it was a simple fix, we were imagining all sorts to fix it, especially as we had only just moved back in! But thankfully E&P were so helpful on the phone and jon managed to sort it himself on the end anyway! 😂😂 see I said it would make good KZread if that happened, I would call for help but make sure the camera was set up first! Thank you, hope you are all good 😁❤️💙
