BILSTEIN<br />
extends their<br />
B6 Camper<br />
product range by<br />
a popular base vehicle<br />
Shock absorber upgrade also possible for<br />
motorhomes based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter<br />
<strong>The</strong> booming camping market is opening up profitable additional business<br />
for workshops – especially as the OE suspension quickly reaches its<br />
limits with fully loaded motorhomes and camper vans. Many campers<br />
complain about lacking ride comfort, poor stability in bends or annoying noise<br />
on long holiday trips. BILSTEIN has developed the special B6 Camper shock<br />
absorbers that noticeably improve the ride comfort and safety of motorhomes<br />
and camper vans. This upgrade is also possible for motorhomes based on the<br />
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: the shock absorber expert BILSTEIN supplements<br />
their Camper product range by specially adjusted dampers for the Sprinter<br />
series 906, 907 and 910, covering another popular base vehicle for semiintegrated<br />
motorhomes and camper vans.<br />
More damping force for safety and comfort<br />
<strong>The</strong> BILSTEIN B6 Camper high-performance shock absorbers significantly<br />
improve handling of the van suspension, which originally had been designed<br />
for different loads. To this end, the damping properties were extensively<br />
adjusted to the parameters of motorhomes in road tests on the premises of<br />
ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg. <strong>The</strong>se are usually packed to the payload<br />
limit, have a higher centre of gravity and other protrusions or wheel bases.<br />
When using special dampers, the optimum grip results in increased safety in<br />
crosswinds and bends as well as a more intense driving experience due to high<br />
traction and precise handling. At the same time, campers can look forward to<br />
a more comfortable driving experience after a shock absorber upgrade: <strong>The</strong><br />
reduction of driving noise through better damping contributes to this just as<br />
much as the optimised rolling behaviour on cobblestones and at level crossings.<br />
Additional business with the BILSTEIN B6 Camper<br />
<strong>The</strong> new product line launched in 2022 was previously available for<br />
motorhomes based on the Fiat Ducato (from model year 2006) and identical<br />
vehicles from Citroën, Peugeot and Vaushall/Opel. BILSTEIN’s extended<br />
product range for more recent Sprinters from model series 906 to 910 with<br />
front-wheel drive offers workshops the opportunity for even more additional<br />
business. <strong>The</strong> BILSTEIN Camper shock absorbers can be installed easily and<br />
are not required to register by vehicle professionals at a reasonable price.<br />
<strong>The</strong> installation effort is the same as for conventional shock absorbers.<br />
BILSTEIN, the shock absorber expert, supports workshops that want to prepare<br />
themselves for Camper customers with special training sessions.<br />
