Why Motorhome Upgrades Need Professional Handling

Today’s motorhome systems are complex. Installing upgrades like HPC hydraulic levelling or advanced air suspension involves far more than simply fitting parts. They call for mechanical expertise, electrical integration, and careful calibration based on your vehicle’s exact specifications.

Without expert handling, even high-quality components won’t function as they should.

Precision Matters: Getting It Right the First Time

Motorhomes vary significantly by make, model, chassis type, and layout. A professional installer understands how to tailor the upgrade to suit your specific vehicle. At Glide-Rite, we conduct a full assessment before installation, ensuring correct jack placement, safe hydraulic routing, and integration with the vehicle’s controls and safety systems.

Incorrect installation could result in:

Protecting the Value of Your Vehicle

Your motorhome is a major investment. Professionally installed upgrades not only improve your experience, they also protect your asset. Poorly fitted systems can detract from the resale value or even cause structural issues over time.

By choosing an approved installer like Glide-Rite, you ensure that all upgrades are:

Glide-Rite carried out the annual hydraulics check/service and the installation of an air suspension assist system on our motorhome earlier this year.
