    I'm at Greenslopes - you're basically around the corner!

    Though as I said it really only comes to play when you've been on the open road for a long time - all day driving etc. I wouldn't mind having a look at your setup however.

    I'll send you a PM.

    These are rather cheap ($100, cheaper second hand) and work well with lighter loads.

    Cheers
    Thanks Ron , though I'm not keen on going against Manufacturer recommendations... the offroad camper I've got has some pretty fancy-doody suspension setup that I don't want to confuse (MC2 military spec?) so I'll see what isuzu110's air-bags are like and go from there...

    Oh and I should probably say that I've had no problems with tracking, the camper has followed beautifully in all situations I've put her through - including up the OTL to Cape York.

    I just noticed that the front of the Defender was sitting obviously higher than the rear after a full day driving and would prefer that she was sitting properly

    Gday Grizzly here is a site for airbag sugestions, they advertise in Caravan & Motorhome mag"
    Welcome to Airbag Man

    When the airbags in our Disco die i will be putting coils with the polly bags and also change to a HR tow bar to run the WDH
