Air Assist  Empty Air Assist

Just had Dunlop air assist (air bags) fitted to the rear of our 2008 Nuevo. Supplied by Marcle Leisure (www.marcleleisure.co.uk) and fitted by our local garage. What a difference ! Still playing with the pressures but 2.5 bar seems about right. Smoother, quieter (not so much banging over bumps) and a better ride all round. Off to Scotland in a few days (via Newcastle for a family wedding), towing our Harley, so we'll so what difference that makes.

We had Alko air assist fitted to my 09 Nuevo and found a big difference in the road handling, fortunately our 08 Sigma came with air assist air bags already fitted, I ride at 3 bar in the Sigma, really nice for the pit holed East Riding roads.

Our airide system was one of those buys that I have never regretted. 
Took advice from a guy who has been motorhoming for almost 50 years he said very little difference between makes,just buy and I would be happy - I have been hope you will be the same

I also fitted Dunlop bags, the difference is remarkable, made & fitted the valves & gauge by the hab-step & its topped-up via an on-board compressor.

I've also had them fitted to my Broadway before I purchased it, I also fitted them to my Auto Roller that I had and I'm also very pleased with the handling, I run them at 1.5 bar.

I had to extend the air assist to its fullest this lunch time to help get enough clearance to replace a rear tyre on the Sigma, the old tyre came out without to much hassle, the new Vanco camper was a very tight fit, I've never seen a wee Kwik - fit tyre fitter sweat so much since they had a change a super single tyre on my mixer some years back.
