Well. I was toying with the idea of suzi line and tapping a supply from the cars HP circuit, having a plug valve on the rear of the car to drive the trailor.
The other solution would be to use something like a C5 electric hp pump..
I duno, it's all in the planning stages at the mo, but I think a self levelling trailor would make towing a pleasure, and of course loading / unloading could be made easy by dropping the height!

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

don't forget anti sink valves! That will save you some trouble and a half, although might look stupid when the car sinks and the trailer doesn't.
Isn't the height setting for the later XM's controlled electronically, in that there is no mechanical lever linked to the HC's? If thats the case then maybe you could link it to the normal BX lever in the car so that if you raise the BX the trailer raises too?

na, shant bother with anti-sink valves, but yeah, XM's and CX's had solonoid controlled HC's, so I had intended to have a remote in the car to operate the level.
It's still in the planning process, a job for next summer when I've shifted some of the more pressing projects on the go at the mo, although I'm cracking through them, so maybe a job for the winter!
