Mechanical Upgrades

Self-Levelling

Take the effort out of setting up on site with a hydraulic self-levelling system for your motorhome. At the touch of a button, the system automatically adjusts the vehicle to a level position within its operating range, reducing the need for ramps and providing a steadier, more comfortable living space when parked up on site.

At MACSUK, we are proud to be one of the 5 UK Premium HPC partners that install HPC, a superior self levelling system that offers exceptional build quality at a very competitive price. Built to last, with anodised rams, chassis-bolted brackets and precision-welded seams. All backed by a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty, extendable to 10 years with annual servicing from year four.

HPC can be operated via both its sleek touch screen or app and has become the go-to system for some of the most prestigious brands of Motorhome available today eg. Morelo

Whether your van is 6 M or 11 M, has an AL-KO or leaf spring chassis we can install a suitable HPC levelling system that will fundamentally change both your travelling style and the usability of your van.

Suspension

Improve your motorhome’s ride comfort, stability and rear suspension support with the GLIDE-RITE rear air suspension system. Partnering with AMK Automotive, MACSUK supplies and installs this high-quality system, providing precise and discreet control of rear axle suspension to accommodate varying loads, reduce body roll and overtaking sway, and prevent bottoming out. Additional rear lift also helps when negotiating steep entrances or slopes. With a choice of control, inflation and monitoring options to suit your vehicle and budget, we provide expert installation and technical guidance throughout.

Tow Bars

Whether you want to tow a trailer behind your motorhome or upgrade your caravan’s coupling, MACSUK can advise on motorhome tow bars and AL-KO stabiliser hitch upgrades. We assess chassis compatibility, towing limits and noseweight to recommend a suitable installation for your vehicle. An AL-KO stabiliser hitch can help reduce caravan sway and pitching, making towing more settled and comfortable when used with a correctly matched and loaded outfit.

TDI Tuning Performance

One of MACSUK’s most popular upgrades, the TDI Tuning upgrade improves both your motorhome’s torque and fuel economy. Drivers report more responsiveness when accelerating, climbing hills and carrying a full touring load whilst simultaneously delivering more miles to the gallon. Notably, for those with automatic gearboxes, it removes ‘gear hunting’ when the van is under load on longer uphill stretches. For those who tow, the TDI box has been heralded a game changer.

Results vary by vehicle and driving style, and any potential fuel savings depend on how you use the additional performance but you can expect a 20% increase in low end torque - essential for pulling away from low gears and between 2-6 mpg improvement.

Up Plating

If you need more payload to carry equipment and touring essentials, up-plating may allow your motorhome to operate at a higher authorised weight, subject to its suitability and axle limits. MACSUK works with GLIDE-RITE and SV Tech to assess your vehicle, advise on any suspension upgrades required and support the technical approval and documentation process. We can help you understand the available options, including the implications for your driving licence, before proceeding.

Fuel Range Extender

Travel further between fuel stops by increasing the capacity of your factory installed fuel tank. Particularly designed for Fiat/Citroen/Peugeot vehicles, MACSUK removes the artificial limiters installed on your vehicle and prevents the dashboard ‘over fill’ light from illuminating. The result is an approximate range of 500 miles on a standard 90L fuel tank as opposed to as little as 350 miles (depending on the limiter installed at factory). We will advise on balancing enhanced range with your available payload to ensure any additional fuel weight will not compromise your vehicles’ payload limits.
