The answer to that is simple: it doesn't matter! All our registered VB-Partners have completed mandatory training to install full air suspension systems, and receive official VB-Partner certification once they have successfully completed this training. So, you can be assured of the same level of service whichever partner you choose.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH VB-PARTNER TO CHOOSE?
MY VEHICLE IS SAGGING: WHICH PRODUCT DO I NEED?
Full air suspension (VB-FullAir):
this system automatically brings your vehicle to the correct ride height at all times regardless of the load.
Semi air suspension (VB-SemiAir):
an auxiliary air suspension system supports the existing suspension of the vehicle and enables the suspension to be adjusted within specific limits. Semi air suspension is often used on vehicles that (regularly) carry heavy loads or sometimes have variable loads. By installing an air spring between the chassis and the rear axle, the system raises the ride height of the vehicle generating greater spring travel.
Helper and reinforced springs (VB-CoilSpring):
helper and reinforced springs are suspension systems that support or reinforce the existing suspension system in order to correct a suspension problem. This system is a good option for vehicles that are always (heavily) laden and that have to carry variable loads every once in a while. This is because the reinforcement to the spring force is permanent and cannot be adjusted.

Our VB-AutoLevel system is an additional option for our VB-FullAir 4C systems. It enables fast and smooth levelling of the full air suspension system.
Level your vehicle quickly and smoothly at the push of a button, even when on uneven ground. Unevenness of up to 10 cm or more can be corrected (depending on the type of vehicle). Once the VB-FullAir 4C is level, the controls switch off. This option is only suitable for VB-FullAir 4C systems.

WHAT IS VB-AUTOLEVEL?
HOW MUCH DOES VB-AUTOLEVEL LEVEL THE VEHICLE?
Unevenness of up to 10 cm or more can be corrected. Some types of vehicle can even be levelled by 13 cm – the precise height achieved depends on the type of vehicle.

Yes, that's no problem! The two systems can be made fully interoperable by means of a software link. The link between our full air suspension system and the hydraulic jacks can be implemented for systems from HPC Hydraulics, E&P level systems and others.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE FULL AIR SUSPENSION AND JACKS ON THE SAME VEHICLE?
HOW DOES THE LINK BETWEEN THE FULL AIR SUSPENSION AND JACKS WORK?
The full air suspension system and hydraulic jacks can be made fully interoperable using a software link. As a result, you enjoy optimum ride comfort, increased stability and greater safety when out on the road. Once you have arrived at your destination, you can quickly and safely level your vehicle by lowering the air suspension to the lowest position at the push of a button and by extending the hydraulic jacks. Your motorhome will then not only be lower but also extremely stable, making it much easier for you to get in and out.

No, this is not necessary. Your air suspension system is essentially maintenance-free. We only (strongly) recommend a visual and functional inspection before the winter season commences. For more about what this entails, read the article.

How easy is it to upgrade a VB-Airsuspension suspension system?
It's a good question, but one that doesn't necessarily have a simple answer. There are two possibilities when it comes to upgrading a suspension system:
- expand/upgrade an existing system;
- upgrade an existing system with another (air) suspension system.
