Hi - which model Disco have you got? We have Series 3 with coils - upgraded springs and handles our Expanda well.....

Cheers Bill

A&J - did the series 1 have the Self Leveling Suspension? If so, the LR recommendation is no WDH (although I vaguely recall reading of an option available for the Series2 which was ok with it).
If not, I think you should be fine with most of the commercial ones, HR/Eaz-lift etc. However, you may need to check if you have the heavy duty tow pack installed. I believe the std duty ones were a bit weaker.
Maybe check with Solitaire LR in Adelaide???

That is one of the most common one around, so no problem with quality or the like. Shop around, you may do better - mine was $600

However, if you get it from your caravan dealer, they may do a free fit also which means it will be set up right - particularly if the main shank thing needs to be changed over for a different length as several have found, inc me.

Recommend you get a dealer to fit, we got an Eaz-lift which works really well. Neighbour got a 2nd hand HR for his base-station and has had a load of trouble getting it right and is still not perfect.
