Sunlight 59 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have a Transit 2009 2.2ltr FWD based Sunlight motorhome and I am considering fitting a rear air suspension kit to improve stability in high winds. My question is which kit to buy, I have seen eBay items at £320 or will I regret buying cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallii Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I think "Yeti" might be referring to the ease with which door locks can be picked and the M/H stolen. This applies not only to Transits but many other makes as well. A secondary method of door locking and a good alarm/immobiliser is a very worthwhile investment. On to your question, Rubena are a large international company based in the Czech Republic, Dunlop are, well Dunlop! I have looked at both systems carefully and I cannot see any real difference between them. The Rubena sytem is cheaper and is the one I will fit myself in the summer (2.2 FWD Transit). H PS mine would be fitted by now with a Dunlop system if I hadn't been messed about by a so called installer. So I will do my own fitting using a Rubena system. PPS I have just had a look on Ebay for the Rubena system, it looks like the kit for the FWD 2.2 has disappeared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Suggest you try contacting this company http://air-suspension.co.uk/ They offer a kit for "Ford transit 2000-2010 single rear wheel” but you’d need to confirm what that means exactly, as your Hymer’s underpinnings are essentially those used on a Transit panel-van.

Sunlight 59 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks for the replies, I am in Spain for the Winter and will go with a system when I get back to the UK. I will look at the door locks as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well found Derek! Not a bad price either £336. I will buy a kit before the price goes up post Brexit article 50. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaven Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Another outlet is Marcle Leisure which markets the Dunlop system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
