Rear air suspension

[Lynne Roy]

We have VB rear air suspension fitted on our 7 metre Dethleffs, it is really good, does anyone know if it will fit the new Fiat heavy chassis 7.4 metre van. Trying to read up on it but it’s not very clear . Thanks

What chassis is the Dethleffs on?

We thought it was on the maxi chassis but now we are not sure , 16 inch wheels. We will measure tomorrow.

 

[Lynne Roy]

no we think not on the heavy chassis

Definitely the light chassis, oh no the spare wheel won’t fit either

Have you tried contacting VB?

I did’nt think there was much difference between the light or heavy Fiat chassis, the light has single rear leaf springs and the heavy a double leaf spring set up. The air suspension should interchange therefore.

The heavy chassis has as a difference, larger discs and callipers and I’m not too sure that the front springs are not up rated ?

(We have a 2020 6.4m Fiat PVC on the Maxi chassis, 16in wheels etc, MAM 4250kgs but there's only on rear leaf Spring?)

Ah, the few Maxi’s I looked at had the double springs, so if some are on the single spring then the air suspension IS interchangeable.

Yes it will. We swapped our VB Air from Fiat light to heavy - No problems at all.
