How to prepare your hydraulic levelling system for winter

As we draw towards the end of the season and the days get shorter, there are plenty of things to be doing to get your motorhome or caravan fitted with E&P hydraulic levelling ready for winter storage. When you’re cleaning away and preparing for the long winter ahead, a quick check over of your system will help keep it working well for the next season!

In order to keep your hydraulic system in good working order, we recommend you do these two quick jobs before winter storage:

  1. Give the jacks a gently clean to wash off any loose dirt, making sure they are nice and dry
  2. Spray the chrome parts of the jacks with a dry silicone spray to give them an extra layer of protection

Did you know you can store your vehicle for long periods of time with your jacks down? This can take some of the pressure off your suspension and tyres but doesn’t completely stop degradation.

If you want to have extra confidence in your system being stored over winter, you can always get in touch with us and we will happily run a system service for you. We recommend this for systems over two years old.

VB-SemiAir or VB-CoilSpring? Which is the best suspension solution for you?

Do you notice your vehicle bottoming out, for example when going over a speed bump? Heavy loads can cause your vehicle to run out of suspension spring travel. This can cause the bump stop – also known as spring travel limiter – to hit the chassis. This is not only bad for the driving characteristics of your vehicle, it is also harmful to your chassis.

It is possible to create more spring travel with most VB-Airsuspension products, including, for example, our coil springs (VB-CoilSpring) and our semi air suspension (VB-SemiAir).

If you always drive a heavily laden vehicle, VB-CoilSpring is a good solution. The coil spring reinforces the original suspension. As a result, you will have more spring travel and the driving characteristics of your vehicle will be improved. To find out more about VB-CoilSpring, take a look at the product leaflet here.

Do you occasionally drive with a heavily laden vehicle? Then VB-SemiAir is a good solution. The semi air suspension reinforces the original suspension, which means that you will have more spring travel again. When driving without heavy loads, change the pressure in the air spring. The semi air suspension improves the driving characteristics of your vehicle. To find out more about VB-SemiAir, take a look at the product leaflet here.
