HOW VB AIR SUSPENSION WORKS
While Driving: Automatic Comfort & Stability
Once your VB air suspension is installed, your motorhome will constantly maintain the ideal ride height set during installation. This is the sweet spot for maximum comfort, driveability, and stability.
The system automatically adjusts air pressure in the air springs as you drive, compensating for:
-
Changes in load distribution (as passengers move or cargo shifts)
-
Road surface variations (potholes, speed bumps, uneven surfaces)
-
Cornering forces (reducing body roll)
-
Braking and acceleration forces
With FullAir systems, you can also manually adjust ride height while driving — perfect for navigating ferry ramps, steep driveways, or rough terrain.


At a Standstill: Easy Levelling & Access
When you arrive at your campsite and switch off the ignition, VB air suspension gives you powerful control over your motorhome's position.
Levelling on Sloped Pitches
If your pitch is on a slope, simply use the remote control to raise or lower the front or rear axle until your motorhome is perfectly level. No more messing around with ramps, chocks, or manual jacks. Simple.
Easier Entry & Exit
Lower the rear of your motorhome to reduce the step height. This makes getting in and out much easier — especially for children, older passengers, or anyone with mobility concerns.
Simplified Loading & Unloading
Drop the rear to make loading bikes, scooters, or heavy luggage far less strenuous.
Wastewater Drainage
Tilt your motorhome slightly to one side to help grey water and sewage drain more effectively from holding tanks.
Remote Control Operation
VB FullAir and SemiAir systems come with advanced remote controls that put all suspension functions within easy reach. Depending on your system, you can:
-
Raise or lower front and rear independently
-
Check current air pressure
-
Save preset heights for different scenarios
-
Monitor system diagnostics
-
Control everything from inside the cab or outside via a smartphone app (on selected models)
The controls are intuitive and clearly labelled. We'll demonstrate everything during installation so you're confident using your new VB air suspension from day one.

VB AIR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS & TROUBLESHOOTING
VB air suspension systems are engineered for reliability, but like any mechanical system, occasional issues can arise. Here's what you need to know about common VB air suspension problems and how we can help.
Common VB Air Suspension Issues
1. Air Leaks
Symptoms:
Vehicle sags overnight or loses height gradually; compressor runs frequently; hissing sound from air lines or springs.
Causes:
Damaged air lines, worn seals, cracked air springs, loose fittings.
Solution:
We perform a thorough leak detection test, identify the source, and replace damaged components. Air line replacements and seal repairs are straightforward and can usually be completed within a day.
2. Compressor Not Working
Symptoms:
System won't inflate; no air pressure build-up; compressor doesn't activate when using remote.
Causes:
Electrical fault, blown fuse, faulty relay, compressor motor failure.
Solution:
We diagnose electrical issues, replace fuses or relays as needed, and repair or replace faulty compressors.
3. Remote Control Issues
Symptoms:
Remote doesn't respond; buttons not working; display shows error codes.
Causes:
Flat battery, damaged control unit, wiring fault, software glitch.
Solution:
Battery replacement is quick and easy. For more complex control unit faults, we can repair or replace the unit and recalibrate the system.
4. Uneven Height / Won't Level Properly
Symptoms:
One corner stays low or high; vehicle tilts unexpectedly; levelling function doesn't work.
Causes:
Air leak on one side, faulty solenoid valve, damaged air spring, calibration issue.
Solution:
We inspect all air springs and valves, replace any faulty components, and recalibrate the system to restore proper levelling.
5. Error Codes on Display
Symptoms:
Warning lights or error messages on remote control display.
Causes:
System diagnostics detecting faults in sensors, valves, compressor, or wiring.
Solution:
We use VB diagnostic equipment to read error codes, identify the specific fault, and carry out targeted repairs.
VB Air Suspension Reset & Recalibration
Sometimes a VB air suspension reset is all that's needed to clear minor faults or restore proper operation after a repair. This process involves:
-
Clearing fault codes from the control unit
-
Recalibrating height sensors
-
Resetting baseline ride heights
-
Testing all functions to ensure proper operation
If you're experiencing issues with your VB air suspension or need a system reset, contact Coachbuilt for expert diagnosis and repair.

-
Check for air leaks periodically (listen for hissing)
-
Inspect air lines for damage, especially after off-road use

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
What Our Customers Say About VB Air Suspension

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does VB air suspension cost?
​
Costs vary depending on the system type and your motorhome. VB Coil Helpers typically start from around £1,500-£2,000 including fitting. VB SemiAir systems range from £2,500-£4,000. VB FullAir systems are the premium option at £4,000-£7,000+. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your vehicle.
How long does VB air suspension installation take?
​
Installation typically takes 1-2 working days depending on the system complexity and your motorhome's chassis. Coil Helper systems are usually quicker (1 day), while FullAir installations may take up to 2 days to ensure everything is calibrated perfectly.
Will VB air suspension void my motorhome warranty?
​
VB Air Suspension is an approved aftermarket upgrade and should not void your vehicle's warranty if installed correctly by a qualified technician. We provide full installation documentation and certificates. However, we always recommend checking with your motorhome manufacturer or dealer first.
Can VB air suspension be fitted to any motorhome?
​
VB offers systems for most popular motorhome chassis, including Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Relay, Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, and more. However, some very old or unusual chassis may have limited compatibility. Contact us with your specific vehicle details and we'll advise.
What's the difference between FullAir, SemiAir, and Coil Helper?
​
FullAir completely replaces your existing suspension with air springs for the ultimate ride quality and control. SemiAir adds air springs alongside your existing suspension as a hybrid system — excellent value. Coil Helpers provide supplementary air support, primarily for load management. We explain the differences in detail during consultation.
Is VB air suspension reliable?
​
Yes. VB Air Suspension is a well-established European manufacturer with decades of experience. Their systems are engineered for durability and are used by thousands of motorhome owners across Europe. With proper installation and basic maintenance, VB systems are highly reliable.
What happens if the air suspension fails while driving?
​
VB systems are designed with safety in mind. If a fault occurs, the system typically defaults to a safe mode where the vehicle can still be driven (though ride quality may be compromised). With SemiAir and Coil Helper systems, your original suspension components remain in place as backup.
Can I install VB air suspension myself?
​
We don't recommend DIY installation unless you have specialist knowledge of vehicle suspension systems. Incorrect fitting can compromise safety, damage components, and void warranties. Professional installation ensures optimal performance and safety.
Does VB air suspension require regular maintenance?
​
VB systems require minimal maintenance. We recommend an annual inspection to check for air leaks, test all functions, and ensure everything is working correctly. The compressor air filter should be checked periodically. We offer VB servicing as part of our motorhome maintenance packages.
Can I still tow with VB air suspension?
​
Yes! VB air suspension actually improves towing performance by reducing sway and maintaining optimal ride height even when towing heavy loads. Many customers fit VB specifically to improve their towing experience.
What if I need VB air suspension repairs?
​
Coachbuilt Repair Centre provides full VB air suspension repair and troubleshooting services. We can diagnose faults, replace damaged components, carry out system resets, and provide ongoing technical support. If you're experiencing VB air suspension problems, contact us for expert assistance.
Can I upgrade from SemiAir to FullAir later?
​
In most cases, yes. While some components can be reused, upgrading typically involves significant additional work and cost. We generally recommend choosing the right system for your needs from the start, but we can discuss upgrade options if your requirements change.
