Converting to Air Levellers from Hydraulic
I want to have air levelling on my next coach for several reasons: 1. Lots of Florida parks have soft sand bases that compress if you are there for a long time....air levelling gives you a larger foo...

OK, just to clarify, the 98 Beaver in my signature has been sold and we are thinking of replacing it. The Beaver had air levelling which worked beautifully. No rocking like az99 suggested, just a rock-stable, easily used system. I was just wondering if I was the only one who ever looked at putting air levelling on an existing used airbag suspension coach. The Beaver held its main air brake system pressure for a couple of months when parked, so that there was no need for an auxiliary compressor. The $4900 price tag from lj2954 sounds about right so that means a $5k price advantage for a coach with factory air levelling during my search. When I get closer on a particular coach I'll call HWH to firm it up if it doesn't have "factory air" Thanks to all of you for your help.
The Beaver had a twin system -either hydraulic with jacks or air through the suspension air bags. We never used the hydraulic system because the former owner told us he liked the hydraulic system but had broken five windshields using it before he figured it out. The dealer (who I've mentioned here previously were technically illiterate) broke one and the first two owners broke seven between them. We told our buyer to only use air levelling but they called two months later to ask us to pay for the windshield they broke using the hydraulic jacks.
