Try marcle leisure, they sell Dunlop air suspension kit don't know about tag axle though, I've fitted it to my last 2 motorhomes and would highly recommend it.

We fitted a Dunlop set from Marcle leisure to our previous MH(but they are/were supply only).

But can I ask, why you need or feel you need,air assisters?...

I would've thought that a "newish" X250 tag axle,(Alko chassis?) MH would be stable enough as it was...

Also bear in mind that many air assistor sets get used as a "sticking plaster"..

.ie: to mask the fact that the original spring set up has become "tired" and/or is just being overloaded...

We had air suspension fitted after the mot tester failed our motorhome insisting that the dampers were faulty. Seems they fail them a lot as they think it's the suspension gone. Anyway, a company in Stoke fitted ours and they have done a smashing job. It raises it up at the back and you can adjust it when needed. The company is called Total.

Unfortunately Towtal dont want the business, they never replied to my email so they've lost out on a £480 engine tune and the air suspension job. Shame as i had read some good things about them but hay ho

I had the chassis uprated to 5300kg after having the van on a weigh bridge. Im now running at just under 5000kg and the suspension is down on the back so want to get it back up to its correct ride height. Also i have a top box on which effects he handling on roundabouts

Oh. I see...

Re: Towtal.

If you were hoping to use them, then just give 'em a ring.

These type of companies must get shed loads of emails each day and it's not as if they are that big an organisation, to have dozen of admin' staff checking them.So it must be easy for someone to overlook an email..

We have a Burstner on the X250 Fiat chassis with Continental tyres and it is a pig to drive on motorways compared to an Alko chassis. I have fiddled about with tyre pressures and have just about got the best ride I think I am going to get now. Meet ruts on the motor way and it becomes down right dangerous though with the steering pulling all over the place. Come the NEC October show and I shall be looking for an Alko again!

Yeh got rid of the Burstner and got a Hymer TSL 668 on the Alko chassis, what a difference!!
It came with Continental tyres so got rid of those after a few miles, fitted Michelin campers on to new alloy wheels and wow does it drive better and much quieter as well. I commend this outfit to anyone.
