Frankia ground clearance, too low

Alan

Goldschmitt do a number of potential solutions for your problem.

1. 50mm longer front springs will lift it at the front slightly

2. If its an X250 Ducato then they have just launched an air suspension system for the front axle that will allow you to alter the ride height.

You can find them at www.goldschmitt.de

They are in Germany though!

All the best

Derek, I appreciate what you are saying, but I am not sure I can be bothered to argue about it. I do think that Frankia is a top van, as you say, but they do have a few short comings, as they all do. We have had the shower base crack up, now replaced, the threshold at the habitation door has the door rubber right round it and over time it has come apart due to us walking on it. The step inside the van is faced with a thin bit of aluminium which, again through time has become battered and began to catch on peoples shoes. I replaced both with a nice peice of folded stainless steel. What I am saying is all vans (and boats) have their faults regardless of reputation or price. I would rather fix the little things myself than suffer the stress of trying to get action from a dealer or manufacturer who really cannot be bothered.

I may be mistaken about the dealers and manufacturers, but I do not think so. You know the make of the van, the dealer is Spinney (who are as good as any I have dealt with). If I am wrong about dealers and manufacturers I am sure they will see this post and offer to help.

I hope that wasn´t a complete rant, Regards, Alan.
