Hi, we've got a self conversion camper van and are wondering if fitting air suspension makes any real difference?

Cheers

I've fitted  air assistors to our current van,purely because we needed the extra rear ground clearance(..the rear steadies would "bottom out" when exiting our steep driveway)..however they really did make a difference to the handling(..that's if you can actually call how a MH goes around corners as "handling" ?!? ).

I did fit Grayston coil spring assistors to our previous van and they worked well(raising it about 30mm at the wheel) and at around half the price of the air set up,I would've fitted them again,it was only because I was uncertain as to how much they would actually lift the current,larger & heavier  van(..it would've been a bit late,finding out that it still grounded out,after I'd fitted 'em...).

However as you say you've got a " camper van",I assume it may be a panel van conversion..in which case I would recommend the Grayston spring assistors(..unless of cause it's a ruddy great big bus?  ) 

I have been informed it does, there are several differnet types

but this one looks like will suit most vehicles
