    Thanks for your vlog on this one, we went there also, great product, well installed. Stabilises the ride nicely and sorts out driving over ground obstacles also. Great bit of kit. All the best both, Tony and Julie.

    I fitted an air suspension on my work van a Renault Master 6 years ago, and I have to say it was the well worth it, you wont regret fitting them on Herman. 6 years it cost me €800 for parts and I fitted it myself as the main dealer was not familiar with air suspensions on vans. Stay safe.

    Awesome Bridge! So, that's how they add airbags. Interesting bit of fabrication. Handy for carrying lots of stuff. I fitted Monroe Air Shocks to my Mk 1 Granada for towing purposes. £210 it cost . . . 40 years ago!

    Hi guys. My hometown. I've never walked across that bridge despite being 56! That building surrounded by scaffolding was the Observatory. Glad you enjoyed yourself! Kind regards. Chris

    Nice you will be to alter each one to level the motorhome when on a slight slope or rough ground

    LOL! When we had ours fitted at Telford we took the opertunity to visit the Abraham Darby built bridge across the river Severn & Iron Gorge museum we still have a few sites left to visit on our sites passport. As per the Dunlop recommendations we asked our service garage to give them a annual maintenance spray of auto body wax which keeps them in good condition.👍

    So he was only in his thirties when he designed that bridge two hundred years ago! Half our generation can hardly manage to get off their couch these days still living with their mums!

    I have visited the suspension bridge many years ago and in the same time the Great Britain from the same architect.

    Double bonus with air suspension is a better ride, no longer running close to the bump stops, and being able to raise the rear for those occassions were you would otherwise scrape the back end of the Mototrhome getting off ferries. It will be one of the things I'll be looking at when we finailly get our Motorhome. Begin to think it may not be this year sadly. Fingers crossed it will be, but with the current situation who can tell. Hopefully if we all do our bit it will be over sooner, rather than last in to next year.

    Hi, thanks for the video. Did you need to reset your brake compensator and if so any info would be great. Thanks, keep up the good work.

    Always wanted air suspension , pity you can't go on a road trip to really try it out.

    We had the same manual system fitted, fabulous. Did your installer register the 2 year warranty with Dunlop? If not it needs doing.

    I wonder what made you go to Bristol for the fitting? Do you live near there? We are located in North Hertfordshire.

    Something I've been thinking about installing at some point. I wonder if a drawback of having a system without a receiver is not having the option of installing an obnoxiously loud air horn? 😂🤔

    Hi how does this compare to super springs.?

    You should have a switch for each side. They cable tied the pipes to your brake pipes which is an absolute no no.
