Off-road motorhomes and 4x4 motorhomes are often subjected to heavier loads than standard motorhomes. Additional water tanks, power supplies and specialist conversions make bumps and uneven road surfaces more noticeable, or can cause the vehicle to lean. This not only affects the vehicle’s appearance, but also the ride height, stability and steering behaviour – particularly with varying loads or when driving on rough and unpaved terrain.
Air suspension from VB-Airsuspension supports the chassis under increased loads and enables you to adjust the ride height to suit the intended use and driving conditions.
An off-road motorhome is exposed to different types of loads compared to a standard motorhome. This is not so much related to driving style, but to constantly changing conditions. Terrain, payload and weight distribution vary continuously, while you want to maintain comfort and control without constantly having to correct the steering.
With air suspension, you benefit from:
With full air suspension (VB-FullAir) and the auto-level function, you can level your motorhome at the touch of a button. Time to enjoy your surroundings.
Within the off-road segment, we offer solutions for:
The most suitable product for your motorhome depends on the model, your travel destination and your personal requirements. A certified VB-Partner will assess this together with you.
Through many years of collaboration with vehicle manufacturers, VB-Airsuspension meets the quality requirements set by OEMs. For you, this means:
The VB-FullAir system is ideal if you require maximum stability, optimal comfort and automatic levelling, for example during intensive off-road use or long journeys with heavy loads.
VB-SemiAir is suitable when additional support is required, for example with varying loads, without fully replacing the original suspension.
VB-CoilSpring is a solution that permanently increases your vehicle’s ride height. This solution is less suitable for motorhomes with varying loads.
Composite leaf springs are lighter than steel, resistant to corrosion and retain their resilience – even after prolonged and intensive use.
Our VB-FSD technology ensures improved driving comfort, enhanced stability and reduced vibrations and noise, as road surface irregularities are less noticeable inside the vehicle.
“In short, air suspension offers major advantages in terms of comfort, safety, driving behaviour, crosswind stability and performance on a wide range of surfaces.”

Within the off-road segment, solutions are available for, among others:
Availability depends on make, model and version.
Yes, in most cases this is possible. Due to conversions and additional equipment, off-road motorhomes are often subject to increased loads. If the vehicle exceeds the maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW), this affects safety and it no longer complies with legal requirements. It is possible to uprate the maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW), but this requires a modification to the suspension system, such as VB-FullAir.
Installing one of our (air) suspension systems does not automatically uprate the vehicle. However, it will be equipped with the correct system and the necessary documentation to make uprating possible. Please contact a VB-Partner to discuss the available options.
Please note: if the legally permitted weight is increased, a different driving licence may be required.
Off-road motorhomes are often heavier and subject to varying loads due to additional water tanks, batteries and other camping equipment. They also regularly travel on unpaved terrain. Air suspension supports the chassis under these increased and variable loads, maintains a constant ride height and improves stability, comfort and driving characteristics.
