E&P self levelling is the system installed by Towtal FROM £4468 and by Southdowns at £4680 exclusive of VAT.
E&P now have a company in the UK (Just) and I have today been quoted £3695.10 exclusive of VAT
The difference is not only in monetary terms as both Towtal AND Southdowns told me that a low profile chassis cannot have the system fitted as the jacks would be too long, the latest jacks have 2 telescopic rams and are much shorter and these are the ones that are fitted to low profile chassis.
Also you only have to travel to the fitting agents in your area, They actually start fitting them in 2011 January, They are sending me a pro forma invoice so that I can pay at the 17.5% VAT rate and have fitted in January.
My fitting agents are 12 miles away from me.

either way it's a lot of money! What are you getting for that & what does it improve? I suppose I'm asking is it worth it?

I had these fitted on a Hymer about 8 years ago, In my opinion it was the best extra I have ever had fitted.
I have parked in locations that it would have taken me hours to pack the wheels up to get anywhere near level, with these it took 2 minutes and no hassle or getting dirty.
I was at a site in Rimini one year my towbar was touching the floor and my front wheels were 8" off the floor.
fantastic system, But not for everybody, but to me comfort and ease of use is paramount.

Hi all......we have E & P's fitted to our Concorde on the Mercedes 616CDi chassis. Really pleased that that at long last they could be represented here in the UK, but where ?
Returning to European after many years on American RV's losing hydraulic levellers was one of our main concerns. At the time we were under the impression that similar was unavailable on non American van's.
Since having E&P's fitted 2 years ago we are very pleased to say that they are far superior in operation to what we had previously on the RV's. The fully hydraulic lift and retract is quick and efficient. However we never deploy the automatic feature. At the press of a button the whole van lifts and locks perfectely level in minutes. Unfortunately when levelled in this way the entrance step is to high for comfortable access into and out of the van, as a consquence we resort to levelling using manual operation and getting somewhere near watching that entrance step is not to high. The benefits of being on jacks far outweigh the fact that we may not be absolutely level. The van being stable when moving about inside and very little movement in the strongest winds are a real bonus IMO. Finally I hope take advantage of an E & P presence in the UK for some advice on the problem, maybe ours are not fitted right or hopefully just need setting up correctly. We were contemplating running over to their facilty in Holland next year for checking this out. In the meantime would like to hear from any E&P user's out there, maybe we are missing something fundemntal........Crindle.

Hi Crindle, I had a set fitted to a large Hymer I had and I think they are def worth the investment, as for your "Problem" I think it may be something to do with the fitting as mine were bang on, I used to put a 2" block of wood for a "Base Plate" and they were still ok and not too high.
The company in the Uk is their Dutch partner V&B Air suspension, They are just getting registered and will start fitting in January.

Hi Have you got a web site address for E&P UK
Peter
No sorry, they have not set it all up yet but if you go to Dutch Site and select English you will see all about the system.
Then if you are interested or want information go to VB Air suspension and send them an email or even phone them and they will give you all info etc.

Cheaper to get a landscaper in and flatten the field!
C'mon guys you're camping!
