Street Performance

Motorhomes are a great form of travel and recreation. But are they a joy to drive? Wallowing, top heavy, boat like, all phrases that have been used to describe the ride and handling of an RV. But not with Bilstein. Instead words like precise, confident, controlled and safe are what is said about a Bilstein equipped coach. With Bilstein, you won’t find a generic “heavy duty” shock with ultra stiff valving and terrible ride characteristics, but rather a shock designed for your specific motorhome application providing you with a safe and compliant ride.

Greatly increases overall vehicle stability

Eliminates excessive sway and bouncing

Improves control and handling characteristics

Maintains safe, smooth and comfortable ride

Monotube steering dampers also available for some models

Just One of Many Happy Bilstein Customers!
I recently purchased and installed Bilstein shocks on my 92 fleetwood pacearrow 33ft camper at the recommendation of a family member, also a class A camper enthusiast. I took it for a test drive today in anticipation of the new ride I was promised by the family member. I must say it should be against the law to install anything other than Bilstein shocks on a motorhome!! I was thoroughly impressed and excited with the ride the shocks provided. I had replaced the shocks when I purchased the motorhome used in 2000 with monroe shocks, a product from the local Autozone store. There was no difference in the ride; I just assumed I had done the right thing by replacing the shocks when in fact I wasted money and energy! I will tell everyone I know with a motorhome about Bilstein. Thank you for not charging exponentially for a product which is exponentially superior to all others. Thank you, Thank you!!

ACD System

The World's First Active Damping System Developed for the Motorhome Industry
BILSTEIN'S ACD SYSTEM (Active Control Damping) automatically reacts to changing road input and coach motion to deliver optimum ride comfort and safe handling.

Computer controlled system instantly responds to road conditions and driving style.

Automatically adjusts damping to compensate for acceleration and braking.

Dash mounted switch allows driver to select between active or firmer enhanced performance handling modes.

System includes front and rear electronically controlled shock absorbers, input sensors and computer control module.

The ACD System was developed by Bilstein engineers in cooperation with both Ferrari and Jaguar. This is a true computer controlled active damping system that until now, was unavailable to the motorhome industry. This highly sophisticated system further illustrates Bilstein's world-wide leadership in gas pressure shock absorber and suspension technology. With the Bilstein ACD System you get the ride of a luxury coach and the handling of a European performance sedan.
