    Having air suspension fitted to a van can allow vehicle to be lifted on the rear to make it a bit more graceful on those awkward ramps at some campsites or when getting on/off ferries. Looks like you had a nice time, and thankfully the weather allowed for the children to be outdoors.

    Think you need air suspension though on your beautiful motorhome. It’s a stunner but is very low.

    • @TheRollingRucks

    Yes it might be but , surely the campsites should update their grounds rather than them be allowed to not do anything and continue to make it difficult for big, long Motorhomes. It needs Motorhome owners to have a right go at these membership and private ones

    This comment is not really for you but for the designers of your campervan.. Why didn't they add an wheelbase axel closer to the end of your campervan.. it would literally remove all bottoming out problems. any time you have a vehicle that has part of the frame sticking out too far from a back wheel it will always cause bottoming out problems.. adding a single wheelbase axel closer to the back like I said literally gives the back more lift and protection from the frame hitting the ground..

    Motorhomes and caravan manufacturers are over focusing on providing a large garage or internal space, that they are not using common sense and building in a proper upward cut-off to improve the departure angle on their models that have a substantial overhang. Motorhomes and caravans are first and foremost road going vehicles and this is being forgotten in the manufacturers' desire to build leisure vehicles with a design that will fly off of the dealer forecourt. I honestly think that they are shooting themselves in the foot by doing this as the inconvenience and stress that owners experience will hamper repeat purchases.
