Rear air suspension

[Mizzalotte]

I am considering rear air suspension on my A class carthago(2016), what has been your experience if you have fitted rear air to yours, pros & cons please?

2014 Hobby Siesta. Came with rear air and compressor.
Pros... stability in company with heavy lorries on motorways, doesn't waver about so gives you confidence.
Ability to raise and lower the rear if needed, like no bottoming out leaving my steep local garage.
Cons....cost I suppose
Something else to maintain/worry about
I would fit it myself if I didn't have it already

I fitted myself on Adria compact 2021 just a few weeks ago. Mainly to raise rear when boarding ferry etc. it’s made a great difference to stability when passing trucks on motorways & when those sprinter vans come pad you flat out!! So highly recommend,

Had 2C full air fitted to my last Motorhome (Autosleeper) and due the the strange Alko chassis the cost was nearly 5K, Personally, the only real advantage was, I was able to raise the tail end when boarding ferries, as for a better ride, I could'nt really say.
It did up the payload which was a help.
The Autosleeper had 15" wheels and my new motorhome has 16" wheels which feels better when cornering and less jittery when overtaking trucks a speed

Likewise I fitted my own to my Adria Alko chassis in 2012, it’s very effective at reducing sway with passing traffic and high winds, this year had to replace both airbags so a very good lifespan all things considered,

Thanks, have decided to go ahead, received a quote for a regular chassis, when he discovered it was an alko the cost doubled.
