    Thank you Bob for the recommendation. Caught up with Nathan at the NEC show in October and ordered some goodies for our motorhome.
    Travelling from Cornwall to A&E leisure for full air suspension and HY4 levelling, booked in for next week, can’t wait.
    Happy travels, much appreciated. Jeremy

      Hi Jeremy,
      Many thanks indeed for that and so glad it was useful in decision making. They have been such a good find for us although my bank manager wouldn't agree !! I think we might be meeting next week at A&E :)) Looking forward to seeing the install !! Safe travels :)

    Really interesting but…… No spreadsheet!! I know you will love the levelling system. We have had E&P for a couple of years now, tech features have moved on a little but although it’s not cheap, as you note, I wouldn’t be without now, once you’ve had it…… Levelling is of course the main feature but for me the stability when deployed is the best thing. Looking forward to following Balkan adventures- it was an adventure when I was last there involving body armour, helmets & weapons, it’s on our list to visit in rather more happy & peaceful times. Have a brilliant trip. P

      Thank you Peter and I just know we’re going to love the system!!
      When we were in Croatia there were lots of, still, shell damaged buildings - a stark reminder of those dark times that you saw and experienced first hand.
      Safe travels 😀🚌

    Excellent video there, thanks. You're certainly getting Rezzy sorted for long-term touring. Loads of power and a level moho takes away a lot of stress. What I need now is to see you install a little washing machine please. I've seen some in Chinese/Japanese mohos.

      Hahaha that would be an addition!!! Many thanks indeed for that Brian and I've also seen some at the NEC show in these crazy big mohos so they are over here too!! I'll find one for you next week and include it in a film from the show :)

    Well done great mod I am also interested in same . I have 2 questions if you can answer them. What would be the expected cost to transfer to another vehicle at later stage and is there protection rubber discs for base of legs. Another great and insightful video 👍👍👍

    • @motorhomingadventures
      @motorhomingadventures  3 місяці тому

      Many thanks for that Denis and I was really impressed with the fitting kit 😀
      A full system transfer would be around £14-1500, the Team at A&E might get that figure more accurate depending on vehicle but in and around that.
      There are feet available to cover the steel feet. I remember filming them on the E&P system and the link below confirms they fit the HY4 too which is logical as Alko own both. In fact I may even add those myself, come to think about it - thanks for the reminder 😀
      Give the Team a shout for a NEC week quote!!

    So, your Cross Climate Tires. Michelin Cross Climate 2? I see these are for all year round use and good for snow, braking and traction. Do these negate the need for snow chains in Europe? Cheers and thanks for the upload 😄

      Exactly that WJR 👍 The 3 peaks symbol enables that albeit I won’t be skiing with 4.4 tons (I've seen some carry chains in addition to take on snowy roads but I won't be driving on too much snow - I'll be static!!) 😂😂 In Morzine it is 1st Nov to 31st March for '3 Peaks' tyres OR chains OR socks.

    Great video Bob but not sure I’d spend 7k on this upgrade . Just not worth the money to me mate . Enjoy 👍

    Shame they don’t give discount on VB semi air just had it fitted today also wouldn’t recommend VB on a Ford base Motorhome ( not A&E leisure fault ) and they have to put the controls on seat base right by handbrake tbh looks a mess there would try another semi air system tbh again not A&E fault

      Many thanks for watching David and that sounds like it was a challenge for a VB fit on your van. Is it a standard place for your model of van? Is it digital, or the dials based version? Hopefully you will enjoy some of the benefits of Semi Air 🤞🚌

      @@motorhomingadventures seems some that have the same had them fitted to passengers seat so not in the way of the handbrake others have different systems which tbh seem better for Ford based Motorhome I know A&E our asking VB at the show but with Ford gliderite seems the way to go
