Air Bags.

[Bobtaylor]

Hi all, I’ve just bought another MH, 5 years old, it’s on the Fiat Ducato chassis, not the maxi, and when we’ve got it home, put diesel, water, and all the usual Belongings in it, it’s over weight. Surprise surprise....
I asked the dealers umpteen times for the empty weight, and was promised it was well below the limit.... and was given a certificate to prove....it wasn’t.
BUT, the dealer has done the honest thing and is paying to upgrade the weight limit, but only to 3700kg,
I can however up it to 3850kg by adding wider tyres to the rear, and installing air bags to rear suspension, which is the reason for this post...
Ive seen several variations of air bags for the Ducato chassis On eBay, with various prices from £200-£400 but don’t know the good from the bad, or even if they are all rubbish,
im well capable of fitting them myself, but can anyone suggest if the kits are worth getting, or suggest a company to purchase them from.
many thanks, Bob.

just had a set fitted by tv tech just outside leics but guy is mobile 375 for the kit to diy or £450 fitted , my 7 yr old hymer had a plate fitted to the chassis to anchor the rear seat belts that would have impeded the flexing of the bellows so had to be trimmed , but that would be a model specific problem,
