Are you taking a caravan trip? It is the best way to connect with yourself and with family and spend some time away from the bustle of city life.
However, it’s essential to ensure that caravan parts are up to scratch when exploring. This includes shock absorbers or rebound-dampening devices.
Generally, most caravans and campers come with shock absorbers pre-installed. The most reputable manufacturers install re-bound devices on their new caravans and trailers.
Rebound devices dampen the shock, jarring, and strain from travelling somewhat rugged terrain. And that’s not all; they also keep it from damaging equipment inside your caravan.
Here’s a tip: line your drawers and cupboards with neoprene. Even your cutlery handles get worn from rough roads unless you take precautions.
Caravan shock absorbers—campers might know these as shockies—don’t add load capacity to the caravan or trailer.
They add zero load capacity; however, they do assist spring rebound.
These kits generally stop functioning perfectly within five years. Check your caravan shock absorber kit if you’ve had your caravan for a while.
What other high-wearing caravan parts should I be checking?
All popular trailer shock absorbers have standard dimensions (Max Open—380mm, and Max Close 255mm) and must be installed leaning to the rear of the trailer by 15%. However, a little more or a little less is OK.
Finally, your shock absorber should be measured for 1/2 of the stroke and mounted.
Did you know shock absorbers installed on caravans increase bearing life? They also prevent much vibration fatigue commonly experienced in trailers without shock absorbers.
Wondering whether shock absorbers help prevent vibration fatigue? The answer is absolute. This is why carmakers use shock absorbers on all 4 wheels.
