Campervan Suspension Options
Wanting suspension to help navigate those dirt roads? Your options are as follows:

1BB Rough road suspension is an alternate set of springs and dampers (harder) for even more robust requirements (eg regular travel on unsealed roads). The additional cost for this suspension is $910 and your van will be raised by 20mm.
Aftermarket off-road suspension:
