We fit a Winnebago Travato with an Off Highway Vans 3-inch lift and rear Sumo Springs — the combination that gives a fully-loaded camper both off-road clearance and a smoother, more level ride under all that weight. A camper carries its gear everywhere it goes, and this setup makes it ride like it.
This Travato came through Juggernaut USA in Wheat Ridge (Denver), CO for clearance and ride comfort. A camper is never empty — water, batteries, gear, and cabinetry are always aboard — so the suspension is always working. The 3-inch lift adds the clearance to get off pavement, and the rear Sumo Springs support that constant load so the van rides level and settled instead of saggy and bouncy.

Sumo Springs for a camper that is always loaded
Unlike a cargo van you load and unload, a camper carries its build weight all the time — so the rear suspension is always compressed. Sumo Springs are progressive foam springs that add support exactly where a loaded Travato needs it, taking up the sag and settling the ride so the van feels level and controlled on the road, not tail-heavy and floaty.
Clearance for the trailhead
The 3-inch lift gives the Travato the ground clearance and angles to reach campsites down rough roads, while the Sumo Springs keep the loaded ride composed getting there. We install rear Sumo Springs for the ProMaster chassis on builds like this.
Common questions on this build
Why do campers benefit from Sumo Springs?
A camper carries its weight constantly, keeping the rear suspension compressed. Sumo Springs add support that reduces that sag and smooths the loaded ride — a bigger benefit on a camper than on an often-empty cargo van.
Will a lift make my camper ride worse?
Not when it is done right and paired with the correct supporting parts. The lift adds clearance; Sumo Springs keep the loaded ride level and controlled.
Can you set up my camper's suspension?
Yes — lifts, Sumo Springs, and armor for ProMaster campers, all in-house.
