How good are Caravan Airbag suspensions

if u dont use the carvan o/r then air bag susp is an overkill ,you could get a very good step made to assist your wife.

Hi. I don't think airbag suspension is an overkill. As you say it is easy to vary the height in your situation,not to mention an easier ride on items contained inside the van. Another advantage is that you are able to vary the height from side to side. Each side is usually connected in series(dual axle) so it is easier to level the van if it is on a side slope. Just remember that if you are having an annex fitted to have it measured with the van at setup height so that it fits without gaps or wrinkles. Regards,Bob.

Roadstar had a disabled access van at the 2008 Victorian Caravan Show.
You could try contacting the new owners of Roadstar to see if they intend building the disbled access van. The model on display was a Daintree and was very impressive.

I have it on my Goldstream camper. It rides very well on tar and bad corregations. I think ( hope) it will prolong the life of the camper. You can adjust the pressure to suit the load and conditions. I usually let the pressure down a little for corregations where speed can be lowered.

One great feature is that you can raise / lower each side independantly. When camped it is a breeze to level the camper in about 30 seconds. Every time I stop to camp I think it was money well spent.

Lowering for access would be a benefit but I think it would be limited to about 100mm lower than normal if that helps. ( Also park with the door on the high ground side).

Would I get it again? Absolutley.

Thanks to all the people who gave me feedback with the Airbag suspension, looks like it's a goer
