The last scheduled stop on our way to Vienna was the update of the rear compound spring of our camper. We hope to improve handling on road and gaining ground clearance of the cabin for better off road ability. A traditional black smith specialised in repair and enforcement of leaf suspensions made a perfect job!

| Ready to start |
 |
| Original leaf spring in unloaded position |

Back on the road with much better handling and ground clearance.
We hope that our "back end" handling concerns are now history. |
