Does your motorhome need air suspension?

In this episode of the Motorhome Matt podcast, Matt and Keith dive into the benefits of air suspension upgrades and how they can transform your motorhome experience.

Matt speaks with Gary from Airide to explore how their innovative air suspension systems can improve ride comfort, enhance stability, and help with handling heavier loads. Whether you're towing a trailer or just looking for a smoother drive, Gary explains how Airide's systems make life on the road safer and more comfortable. Plus, there’s a special discount just for our listeners if you’re ready to upgrade.

With Christmas around the corner, we shift gears to our Product of the Week, where Matt shares his top gift ideas for motorhome enthusiasts! From practical solutions to thoughtful treats, these gifts are perfect for anyone who loves life on the road.

In our Q&A segment, Matt tackles your questions about everyday camper van challenges. Stephen asks about registering a fixed address with the DVLA while living in a motorhome. Keith wonders if it’s possible to use grey water to flush a toilet in a camper van. And Kevin asks about the importance of securing loose items in the van for safety.

Do you have air suspension on your motorhome or campervan? How have you found the difference?

What a bit of kit Airide is and Gary is such a pleasure to work with well done Matt for allowing him on

[GoodnightIrene]

Gary and his mate fitted airbags to our Motorhome about 18 months ago and as you say Matt is a game changer. So much easier to take corners, roundabouts . Lorries overtaking you on the motorway is now wobble free !
Best upgrade we’ve had done, plus Gary is a nice guy. 👍

Air bags really are a game changer.
I fitted the Martech kit with compressor and dash controls. Really high quality kit and only £400. 24 month warranty too. Takes a few hours to fit but you do need to know what you are doing and be prepared to crawl under your motorhome for a few hours. Well worth the saving.

[derrywalton]

what about a MoHo with an alco chassis - can you have done and is it worth it . great show and thanks for all the help and advice

[SlimTortoise]

I brought the Air ride kit and after 20 years it's never let me down, Well worth the £600 (fitted) I paid at the time.

Hi Matt, another informative vlog.
Those that promote power banks on YouTube never seem to advise on how, and why, they should be secured in transit.
All too often they can be seen just left in the aisle or between the front seats. I’m surprised the manufacturers don’t insist in promoting safe storage as part of their sponsorship.

Airide fitted their system to our Chausson 640 this year. Main reason was because our drive is very steep, so highering the rear end up prevents bottoming the rear overhang. However, the drive now is so stable when overtaking, negotiating islands & generally more comfortable. The other benefit was that we very recently uprated our Motorhome through SvTech, and because we had Airides system, we could uprate to 4100kg.
Incidentally, when we uprated through SvTech, via DVLA, we encountered no issues in doing so, it was all very quick weight limit shows on new V5c (4100kg), classification 'M', and they refunded the difference of the new road tax charges of what remained until renewal. So this grey area appears to have been sorted. Happy days !

We have air bags fitted but we blow them up by a hand pump why would you want to alter the pressure while you are driving? Reason we had them was the stabilisation when large truck go by. Thanks for the U tube.

The reds go travel have fitter a water filtration system so that they can re use grey water.

[tjayson]

On about grey water, we have always spat out toothpaste into the toilet bowl and wipe stuff with waste food on them with kitchen roll before washing them.. 😊

[bongoslide]

Question, 15 minute cities and tracker charges per mile? have found out any more when they are going to be activated?

[richardjackman]

Will this fit a Fiat swift Kon Tiki 874 on a 2023 model

[peter]

It would be good if Solbio, did a cleaner/additive for separating toilets.

Using someone else's address can leave them with problems. For example, if you default on a CCJ, it will be their address the bailiffs go to to settle the claim or remove goods and it will be up to them to prove the goods belong to them and not you.
