VB Semi Air Suspension - Fixing Our Overweight Crafter Camper!
The fantastic team at VB Air Suspension got in touch after we showed that our van was too heavy, and they had a solution. So we headed up to Out and About Motorhome Services near Peterborough to get VB Semi Air Suspension fitted to our Volkswagen Crafter Self Built Camper Van.

We had our semi air suspension fitted in January after collecting the van (Burstner Eliseo)in December, game changer, now all you really need is hydraulic jacks all round, it makes arriving on site so much easier and so quick to set up, no lugging levelling ramps around with you. Hurry up with rest of the van build, we want to see more of your European travel adventures, you were very much an inspiration to us when we start traveling in our T6, we’ve been following you since your honeymoon. Currently sat on the shores of Lake Como.

@@ABusAndBeyond Thank you! They told us you'd been for a drive in it when we went to pick it up! Glad you liked it. It's certainly made a difference, especially the self-levelling :)
Out & About Motorhome & Caravan Services, fitted a E&P Level System to my caravan a fortnight ago, really nice guys to deal with.
I’ve got VB on my T6.1, very impressed so far and does give a nice ride. I’ve read a few horror stories, but I think as always the installer is key.
I found this video very uplifting

That pipe to the waste tank will have standing water in it where the pipe goes up over the hand brake cable. I’d also recommend filling it full. With a hose pipe to make sure the brackets you have used can carry the weight.
Got this on the rear of my Knaus Motorhome, great bit of kit.
There goes Lizzy "Video Bombing" Sean during His Outro. Also, She caught Him Hiding in the Van again instead coming inside the House to Help with the Kiddos. 😮

Yeah it’s nice to have some adjustability on the ride
Great stuff mate.
Really should have pushed the boat out and gone full air, lifetime van so worth it many times over. The bonus of self levelling especially when touring daily cannot be overstated.

Does self driving cars MISS the potholes !!!! Another reason to SAY NO to self drive
I've got up plating and VB rear suspension on my list and am doing it in that order as the rear suspension is less about pay load for me. Also I though VB were doing digital dials now? (Or is that someone else?!)
Wuhoo. Brilliant.
People with the GC680 have been able to up plate from 3,880kg to 4,400kg just as a paper exercise. Is it different for the crafter?
🎉
Having just hit my water tank coming down the hill from Cocos wild camp this video is perfectly timed. So do you get a rear wheel lift potential for off road, or is that only on full air suspension? And if so, how high? And what extra payload do you get?

We did have a quick look when we first put air in and it’s about 20-30mm difference from fully aired out to full pressure so I wouldn’t really recommend this as a system for off roading. You’d need to replace other parts of your suspension for that really. We will find out about payload in the future and I’ll be filming it all as well 👍
Looks amazing did you not fancy going the whole hog

We would love to but it’s a bit pricey. And I don’t think it’s available yet for the Crafter
What’s the added payload?

Not taking it to Lowdown to be bagged and lowered? 🤣
