I am having difficulty in trying to find an Air Suspension Kit that can be fitted to an Alko Tag chassis. Both Dunlop and DriveRite inform me that they do not supply, nor fit their kits to anything other than a single rear axle. Because of the torsion suspension system used, DriveRight even suggested that the chassis may well become twisted if air suspension was to be fitted.
Whilst on an Aire at Le Touquet, a German owned Hymer tag axle had air suspension fitted, and the Dutch owned Hymer tag next to me had uprated front springs from Fiat, which I did view. Fiat UK say that there is no front spring uprate. Both owners did indicate that their individual upgrades made a big difference in the vehicle handling. All three MH's are of the same year model.
So, does anyone on here have an Alko tag chassis with air suspension fitted, and working well?
Best regards,
Jock.

Hey Jock..how are you doing??
Have you tried Kuhn Auto Technik? I suspect that if anyone does a system for tags it would be them.
They had a pretty impressive display at Dusseldorf, and the guy i spoke to was extremely knowledgable

Hi Doug, fine thanks.
From the link that David supplied, I have managed to identify the uprated Ducato front springs, that the Dutch guy had, and also a air kit for a tandem/tag, which is probably what the German guy had. I have tried e-mailing them, but not successful yet.
I have emailed Kuhn Auto Technic, (thanks for that info), however, there is no mention of a tandem/tag kit on their website.
Dunlop promised to get an engineer to phone me to discuss the chassis axle arrangement, and their kits..............but not yet.
Hope that you are well Doug, and keeping occupied. How's Maise?
Cheers for now,
Jock.

have you tried AS Air suspension. We have just returned from Europe and was speaking to a guy who had had it fitted, I have to say it looked pretty impressive. he had a Hymer but not sure of the model and I am not sure if it was a tag axle or not. They have got a website, I have had a look and found it by putting the name in google.
Regards
Kit

I'll have a word with my mate, the local Yachting Club Commodore.
