Discover the comfort of air suspension for your motorhome, now even smarter

When traveling in a motorhome, it’s not just about driving comfort, but also about safety and stability. An important, but often overlooked, component is your motorhome’s suspension. In this blog post, you’ll read why air suspension with electronic controls is a smart investment for every motorhome owner.

What is air suspension?

Air suspension supports your motorhome’s traditional suspension with air springs. Instead of the standard metal springs, air suspension absorbs shocks. This ensures a smoother ride, especially on uneven roads or with varying loads. Air suspension also offers a much more comfortable ride. But air suspension itself is only truly powerful when you can actively control it.

 

Why air suspension?

With air suspension, you drive more comfortably and can adjust the height of your motorhome. This offers many advantages:

1. Always stable on the road
A properly adjusted ride height improves roadholding. By keeping your motorhome balanced, you reduce body roll in corners, instability in crosswinds, and dive when braking.

2. Comfortable driving, even with uneven loads
Loads vary depending on your trip. Perhaps you’re transporting bicycles, extra water, or camping gear. Air suspension controls allow you to adjust the left and right heights separately, ensuring your motorhome always remains balanced.

3. Protecting your vehicle
A rear that’s too low can damage vulnerable components like the bumper or exhaust more easily when hitting speed bumps or steep driveways. Air suspension controls allow you to easily lift the chassis where needed.

Various air suspension controls

Some motorhomes are equipped with manual air suspension. While functional, this lacks the convenience and precision of an electronically controlled system. With manual controls, you can:

• Adjust the air suspension using buttons on the dashboard, for example
• Monitor the pressure and height in real time
• Operate the air suspension without leaving the camper
