Air Suspension SAP Near Doncaster great customer service.
Just had Air suspension fitted by SAP at Adwick Le Street near Doncaster. What a great firm to deal with. Sorted all paperwork and fitted in a couple of weeks. It's great - it's also going to be handy if the ground isn't quite level when parking as either side inflates/deflates independently. It also lowers so the step isn't as high to climb into.
We had some sort of air suspension on th Adria Matrix, but it was not a patch on what we have now. Even with that at its highest setting the back end still bottomed out if there was a stunt steep hill.
As some of you know we just bought a new Mobilvetta- our dream van after seeing one in Belgium last year. The price was excellent. I'm not knocking the quality of fittings and extras which come with and main template is just what we want. I was however sickened when paperwork came back 3257 leaving just 243 k payload and that didn't include even a passenger. They had done the paper exercise to take it to 3650. So this meant total payload of 393k. Sounds a lot. Add 1 large passenger down to 293 k. Add awning 23 k and extra leisure battery 20 k. Now down to 250 k. This is supposed to be a 4 seater MH - add 3 more passengers and you would be over loaded without adding anything else.
We did think of rejecting as not fit for purpose, but as we really do like the Mobi we decided to bite the bullet and have air suspension fitted to enable us to take it to 3850. If I was a few years younger I would have gone down that route, but really couldn't cope with the stress and we want a long break in Spain.
There are a lot of 3.5t MHs being sold to 1, people who don't want/can't keep C1 on licence after age of 70 or 2, were born after 1996 and haven't got entitlement to C1 on their licence.
I suspect we will soon be hearing many stories from people who do not know that they are driving illegally.
To the sceptic who say it won't happen, it does - i for one wouldn't like to be the one who gets pulled up weighed on weigh bridge and told to remove goods until vehicle is correct weight plus points on licence and a hefty fine. Also how long will it be in event of accident, your insurance company won't pay out because vehicle was overweight.
