- Fitting Semi Air Suspension To Your Motorhome
We have semi air suspension and up rated springs fitted to our Motorhome. After a visit to a weigh bridge we spoke to Cara Motorhomes as we were close to our GVM and axle limits.
The solution was to contact SV Tech to see how much we could up-rate our Motorhome to.
We were 3650kg and SV Tech confirmed what we could increase to with the addition of semi air suspension on the rear and up-rated springs on the front. The Motorhome went in to Cara Motorhomes and they carried out this work.
The result was an increase of GVM to 4000kg and an increase on both our axle limits.
Watch the vlog to find out what those increases were and how simple it is to have air suspension fitted.
There will be a separate vlog on the up-rating process with SV Tech.

That was a really good in-depth video 😊
What some people don’t realise if you had an accident being over weight could course problems with your insurance
Thank you Mark, yes, it can cause you a big problem. It is always best to be safe. Have a great weekend 😊
I’ve personally been really pleased with how the Matrix now rides and handles with the addition on the semi air. It’s a yes from me 👍
Good video - really pleased with my self fitted system on our Apache 700. Night and day handling.
Thank you for watching, yes, it makes a huge difference. 😊
Thanks Karin for uploading we are currently having ours done on our new Coral, which we have yet to take delivery. Hopefully in a few days time.
Fantastic!! Enjoy your Coral once you hit the road..great choice 😊👍
Fab video as usual - I’m always interested in the up plating or the down plating (in my case!) and I too got advice from SV Tech re down plating (so the kids could drive our Adria without their C1) and they were very helpful! Lovely sunny weekend - not sure where you are - but you are definitely no where near Yorkshire ! Spitting here! 😅
Thank you for watching…yes, not as common having to downplate a motorhome 😜 We are at home this weekend and the weather is rubbish, I have the heating on. Have a good bank holiday and enjoy your next trip. We are off to Italy soon 👍😊
Good evening Karina , hope you and Jules are well and enjoying the upcoming weekend .
Thank you for watching and good morning,we are filming for 2 days but not away in the Motorhome. Have a lovely weekend yourself 😊👍
Very helpful. Was that the highest Gross and axle weights you could go to on that chassis??
Thank you for watching, I am not at home so can’t check my paperwork but with the kits we added I think 4000kg was the highest, I seem to think it might have gone slightly higher with full air suspension, maybe 4200kg. I will be doing a video about the updating of the weight plate and axle limits so that information will be in that video. 😊
Good clip.
Should you mention the difference it makes to your driving licence or have I got this wrong?

Thank you for watching, the Motorhome was already over 3.5t so make no difference to ours needing C1 but yes, if you go from under to over you would need to make sure you have the category. I will be covering this in the uprating vlog.. but it’s an important point so well mentioned 😊 Have a great weekend
Usefully informative as always Katrina. I already have air on my Matrix but am interested in the front springs, do you have a cost for that element please?
Thank you for watching, the front springs have made a massive difference. The Matrix sits much higher at the front now and it seems to improve the driving position, or that’s what I have found. I’m comparing it to my Adria Coral and Adria Compact too. The uprated springs including fitting would be about £800 including VAT at Cara. I don’t know what other dealerships charge. Have a good bank holiday weekend and enjoy your Matrix 😊👍
Great film but the music is terrible 😕
Thank you for watching.. I really liked that music 🤷🏼♀️😂
Just wondering, is this still a loaned motorhome or have you bought it?
Thank you for watching, currently still on loan, we would love to buy our own again.
