WHO ARE WE?
We are Bob and Hillary, from Chandler, AZ. While we love living in Arizona we are not going to lie...the summers are brutal! So since both our boys are now in college we decided it was time to buy a #van a Tellaro 20a 2022 to be exact! We originally thought we would build one out. But after the past 2 years we realized that prices went up and things were hard to find. So much is on back order. So we did the next best thing! We bought one completely finished and ready to go!
What is our WHY? Why do we want to share it with you? The biggest reason is we have had some hard times and lost very dear people in our life which has caused us to want to make the most out of every moment we are given! Our goal is to inspire everyone to chase their dreams no matter their age and season of life, to help people see the behind the scenes of a couple doing that very thing! And if we can help you achieve your very own home on wheels that's icing on the cake! #vancaskeys #vanlife #vanlifeusa
I installed sumo springs on the rear of our 2018 Winnebago Travato (Ram Pro Master 3500 Chaises) That made a big improvement. I ordered the Sumo Spacers for the front, that project was kind of a tough job. I removed the front tires and that helped. I'm happy with the results. Very good video, very helpful.
Glad to see Jack stands with this installation. Another great video! I hadn’t seen this type of front Sumo Springs and they seemed to install so easily. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Bob! We learned the first time we needed a jack stand!
I put the front and back sumosprings on my Promaster following your videos. Putting a generous amount of dish soap on the coil and the insert helped a lot. The fronts went on quicker than the rear. The ride is greatly improved (less jarring on potholes too). Thanks for the videos.
We (husband & I) ordered the front Sumos and got a great discount using vancaskeys! Thank you so much! When they arrive we will use this video for the install. We already had the back ones installed with a lift. Thanks again!
Oh yay!!!!! 😀
Great video thanks for sharing and thanks for helping get the message out there about our products!
Thanks Adam! They have made a huge difference on our Van!
Thanks for the video, just what I was looking for 👍
Installed Sumo Springs on a 2017-Ford T-350HD Dually Transit Plumbing Van, I noticed an improvement, van isn’t so jarring over road imperfections, super helper spings are next on the leaf springs, occasionally tow heavy equipment and need more rear support
Good job ... you guys 👍
Thanks for sharing ..
😀 🤗😁❤️
Thanks Diane! ❤️
Thanks for video guys...
Thanks for watching!
nice upgrade - and easy to do too!
It was the first thing I did to my 2022 Tellaro when I got it in July of 2021. The ends both met around the Springs, and were secured with zip ties thru holes at the bottom of the spacer.
Hmmm…ours didn’t come with zip ties. We thought they should. Thanks for letting us know this.
@@Vancaskeys Are their several small holes around the bottom edge?
Great job..that was really easy looking! ROAD TRIP!!! Glad to see your wheels chocked! 🤣 Harbor Freight has the heavy duty Solid Rubber Wheel Chock on sale. Very small easy to store somewhere in your van! 90 cents off is a great deal! Have a great weekend!
We definitely should get some! We will have to check out the sale at harbor freight. Thanks!
Those harbor freight chocks are super smelly. We have some for other uses and have to leave them outside.
I installed the front spacers first... definitely it's a night and day experience the 'sway' was muted... Thor should have installed these stuffs already 😏 - - (as usual nice to see your videos 😊)
Agreed. Night and day difference! Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t hear much confidence from Hillary
when she asked if the spacer was installed correctly, she was like “Ok”
😂😂😂
What ton floor jack is that? I just let RAM put on the back ones this morning because I was concerned about lifting that much weight with a 6 ton bottle jack I bought. Thought it might sink into the asphalt. Didn’t seem like you had a problem with the jack you used.
what was the model number for the sumosprings? Which ones did they send you? Going to order some now! Bought the back ones and installed them =)
I knew you’d like the Sumo’s. A Icn better ride for sure. I hope you’ve driven in cross winds previously so you’ll see the difference with the Sumo’s.
Yes! They make such a huge difference!
Did the addition of the Sumo springs on the rear & spacers on the front add any more clearance to the van? That generator is soo low to the ground! And, you use spacers in the front, not another set of sumo springs?
how much did the front raise up after the install
Where would you actually stop the sumo springs once you slide them in? Are there any specifics to that? Your wife also asked, " How high do you need to go? "
You only have to go to the middle of the spring. That seemed to work for us.
Bob, are you happy with your Thor class B, let me know I plan to get an 18M soon
Yes! I’m happy with it. Once everything gets fixed I’ll be even happier. It’s a great van. Good luck on your new van!
To bad these aren’t standard on the Thors. Standard on Winnebago travato.
Agree! They should be! Winnebago for the win!
Where are you guys?????? Did you happen to see the 2023 Airstream Rangeline? Just came out…
Oklahoma! That why we didn’t get a video out last week. We will have a video Sunday 😃 we did see the airstream! I’m super excited to see it because it’s on the upgraded promaster chassi-my only concern is the size of the bed for us. But airstream puts out such great quality so I’m sure it’s great. -bob
@@Vancaskeys Safe travels. That’s right you both are 6 footers. I’d wait a year..since this is their first..but their quality is a plus…and the rig is only 131K
Overfilling saturates your vehicle's vapor recovery system which can lead to permanent damage and avoidable repairs
Thanks for sharing!
Still working?
Yes. Have had no issues with it.
Don't complain. 22 gallon would cost you $165 in continental Europe.
Oh wow!
Did it give it any noticable lift?
