Modern vans are known for their efficiency and reliability, making it a popular basis for camper van conversions. This is precisely where the major challenge for the chassis lies: the extensions, luggage and provisions increase the payload considerably, and campers are always driving at or above the load limit. The consequences are reduced comfort and a sharp drop in driving safety.
But to really exploit the potential of your camper - especially on long journeys - it makes sense to optimize the suspension to restore safety and comfort. Suspension expert BILSTEIN has developed a special camper van shock absorber range that is precisely tailored to the special requirements of camper vans. Optimizing the shock absorbers offers many advantages:
The standard shock absorbers can simply be replaced with BILSTEIN B6 Camper damper, no further technical modifications are necessary, and installation is just as straightforward as with standard shock absorbers. This saves you additional costs and an inspection by a technical testing organization. In contrast to other modifications to the suspension, the BILSTEIN B6 Camper shock absorbers do not increase the weight of the base vehicle. You do not have to compromise on the payload. However, the change in handling is clearly noticeable:
If that's not enough, the BILSTEIN B6 Camper Advanced gives you the option of an upgrade. Thanks to its integrated Dampmatic technology, the B6 Camper Advanced offers automatic adjustment of the damping force, purely mechanically, without cables or connections. The result: the soft marking is perfect for relaxed cruising. When cornering or in evasion maneuvers, it automatically switches to a hard characteristic. As soon as the ride calms down again, the B6 Advanced switches back to soft mode.
BILSTEIN B6 Camper Advanced and B6 Camper are not only suitable for Mercedes-Benz Sprinters, but also for camper vans based on the Fiat Ducato from model year 2006 to the present (Light & Heavy). This also includes all identical vehicles from Citroën and Peugeot. This retrofit ensures that a wider range of motorhome owners can benefit from the superior performance and comfort of these shock absorbers.
The van life movement has grown enormously in popularity in recent years as more and more people seek freedom and adventure. Every camper equipped with the B6 Camper damper, is the perfect companion for this active lifestyle. It offers the reliability and comfort you need for long journeys.
