Has anyone fitted the HPC auto levelling system onto Adria compact supreme DL

No, but I have a factory fit HPC on my Morelo, it’s much the same as the E&P we had on our Kon-tiki, both very good and I believe HPC is owned by E&P.

I’d never heard of HPC before this post.

A dealer’s web site suggests the system is only 40kg, does that sound right? The leveling system on my trailer is 181kg!

Does anyone know the cost fitted and can you just buy the kit and do a DIY installation?

No, but we’ve had the E&P system fitted to our Adria Compact Supreme SC. Wouldn’t be without it now.

Do the hydraulic rams have enough ground clearance ?

Where did they fit the oil tank and hydraulic pump?

Yes, they’re close enough to the centrelines of the axles high enough to clear any obstacles. It’s never been an issue. I’ve fitted a Thule electric step to the hab door that’s lower than the foot of the ram and more central in the wheelbase, and that’s never grounded out either.

It was fitted under the bench seat by the hab door

That great not taking up to much space also keeping extra weight in the middle
Ps what is the overall weight I have been quoted 55 kilos

I don’t have an Adria Compact but ours was dropped through the floor in a metal box along side the chassis rails, so used up no space at all.

I was looking at HPC, called into a fairly local supplier/fitter, it was like talking to a piece of wet string. Ai asked how much do the legs affect ground clearance, the answer "it dies a bit but I don't really know". I then asked can the pump be installed under the chassis "oh no it has to go inside". I gave up at that point, he could have easily asked one of their engineers but the bloke didn't seem interested at all.
The price was only £250 cheaper than E&P so if we decide to go for jacks it will be E&P and we have local reliable company (Rosmia) that can fit them.

Yes I like the look of the E&P system, and the controller is much nicer than the others. I contacted M-level today, they were extremely knowledgeable about the product, and of course its much cheaper and British made. However I didn't like the fact that the hydraulic motor is only protected by a bit of heat shrink plastic. I really like the look off the HY4 system which can be easily removed if you change vehicle and all parts are extremely well protected by solid plastic covers, it also extends further than the E&P and the M-Level and has more ground clearance than the M-Level. However it is more expensive. I don't know if anyone on here has experience with the HY4 system who could comment ?

Hy4 is good but getting bit pricy also it's a lot heavier. I ruled out due the each jack being a lot heavier and I'm trying to keep the weight down on the rear axle as I can only go to 2240kg max.

The M Level looks interesting but I don't think there is much in the way of support outside of the UK and we hardly use the van in the UK. Also the hydraulic pipes are pre made and they coil the excess up under the van.

They do seem to do a better job than others but a 520 mile round trip, E&P installer 20 miles away.

Yes, valid point. They have uk support only, and we also will be mainly out of the uk. I think I was quoted 68kg for the Hy4 but I'm not sure what the E&P weigh.

You could have a tour around the Peak District or North Wales, a night in a hotel in or around Warrington whilst it’s done, Cath or Phil (the owners) would take you to your hotel.
