Improve Your Sprinter Camper Conversions’ Ride and Handling with Bilstein B6 Camper and Camper Advanced Shocks and Struts

RVs based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans are definitely a thing. They’re easy to drive, have loads of space and most of the comforts of home, and can go just about anywhere, especially the four-wheel drive versions. Think of them as an RV that fits in a regular parking spot.

If you have a Sprinter camper, you can improve its ride and handling with Bilstein B6 Camper and Camper Advanced shocks and struts. They’re direct replacements for the stock parts and are a cost-effective alternative to air springs or coilover conversions.

The B6 Camper struts and shocks are based on Bilstein’s B6 Series gas-charged shock absorbers but have application-specific, velocity-sensitive valving that reacts quickly to changing road conditions. You get these benefits:
• Better ride and handling on poor road surfaces and on rough terrain
• Extra safety in crosswinds and around bends due to optimum road grip
• Less road noise due to better damping on roads with changing surfaces

Step up to the B6 Camper Advanced shocks and struts and you’ll get automatic damping adjustment thanks to Bilstein’s DampMatic technology. The shocks adjust based on road vibration. On smooth roads shock oil flows through both the main piston and a special bypass to provide a softer ride. When the camper encounters rough terrain or sudden bumps, the bypass closes, forcing the oil through the main piston. The result is a firmer, more controlled ride.

Don’t have a Sprinter camper? Summit Racing carries Bilstein B4 OEM replacement and B6 upgrade shocks and struts for your Sprinter work van. It’s good insurance to replace your front strut mounts when you replace the struts, so we have Bilstein OEM replacement front strut mounts for that job.
