Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, almost all motorhomes with AL-KO chassis can be retrofitted with our Semi-Air suspension kits. We have systems for Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Jumper and the Mercedes Sprinter AL-KO SLC, AMC chassis types.

Ensure that the Semi-Air suspension you choose is compatible with your specific vehicle model and its manufacturing year. Our team can always verify this from photos.

Investing in exceptional Semi-Air suspension from a reputable manufacturer is essential. Prioritising quality is key to guaranteeing the suspension’s performance and longevity.

Please be aware that Semi-Air suspension will influence the height of your vehicle. After installing a Semi-Air suspension system, you will have the ability to adjust your vehicle to reach your desired height.

Semi-Air suspension systems should be tailored to your vehicle’s weight, particularly if you plan to transport heavier additional loads.

With the AL-KO range of motorhomes, there are various chassis types available: Wide (140mm), Standard (90mm), and Underslung, with Wide being the most prevalent. This measurement refers to the distance between the chassis and the hub where the axle connects. If a customer is unable to provide this measurement or is uncertain, a photo will work as well, as our team can assist in identifying the correct type.

Prices for Semi-Air suspension systems on Fiat Ducatos, Peugeot Boxers and Citroen Relays which includes installation, range from £2,350.00 to £2,450.00 for the single axle AL-KO. For the tag axle, the price begins at £3,400.00 and goes up to £3,600.00, with VAT and installation costs included. We also provide a supply-only price option.

For enquiries regarding the Mercedes Sprinter SLC and AMC chassis, please reach out to a member of our team so we can first identify the type of chassis.

Yes, our AL-KO Semi-Air Suspension is TUV approved, and this certification is recognised by the uprating specialist SV Tech.

Adjusting the vehicle’s level can also be done from inside for a quick and convenient solution. The onboard control system, connected to the compressor, enables you to raise or lower the rear of the vehicle according to your requirements. However, please note that this should not replace HPC Self-Levelling Systems. This adjustment is ideal for situations where one side is lower than the other, allowing you to lift that side to achieve a balanced level.

For the single axle AL-KO Semi-Air Suspension, the completion time would be one working day, while the tag axle version would require one and a half working days.

The Glide-Rite AL-KO Semi-Air suspension systems require no maintenance. In contrast, products from other manufacturers may need to be serviced at regular intervals, such as annually, by a workshop.

Absolutely! This system allows you to elevate the vehicle up to 6-bar, resulting in an approximate lift of 3 to 4 inches. Since each vehicle is unique, the height may vary. By increasing the pressure to 6-bar, the rear of the vehicle will easily clear ramps, driveways, and ferry ramps, particularly for those with a significant overhang. This is a common issue that many of our customers experience.

No, air suspension enhances driving comfort in a motorhome while providing better stability on the road and increased safety. However, installing air suspension does not boost the towable load capacity.

The towable load is mainly influenced by the chassis’ load capacity and the vehicle’s suspension bracket. This specification is established by the manufacturer and is typically not adjustable.
