Comfort suspension, air suspension and dampers for motorhomes: optimizing ride comfort
© Andreas Becker

The article discusses ways to improve the ride quality of motorhomes, particularly through comfort springs, air suspension, and shock absorbers. Unlike passenger cars, where tuning focuses on sportiness, the main goal for motorhomes is increased comfort. Although models based on Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Renault Master, and VW Crafter (MAN TGE) are ahead of Stellantis chassis in comfort, the Fiat Ducatoⓘ and its siblings Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper remain the dominant base vehicles, whose road behavior can be improved in many areas.
