I'm looking at a Coromal 667 Lifestyle, and wondering if there has been any issues with the suspension, it is independent Ezitow. Just concerned about the design, no restraint on backwards movement when the wheel hits something

Apologies if this has been done before.

No problems at all,even at 3200kg GTM (weight on van wheels).Been around since 1975,and is the only suspension system that doesn't suffer from axle steer,as the "axles" always are at 90 degrees to the chassis,no matter what the individual spring compressions are. "Axles" are not load sharing though,so van must be level when being towed,and it is wise to run about 2 psi less in the tyres on the lead axle than the pressure in the tyres on the other axle.Agents now are Melbourne trailers,I believe.Cheers

I personally do not non load sharing systems. Load sharing makes much more stable as same weight on each tyre always. Neil
I would suggest that eliminating axle steer would make a van much more stable than would having the "same weight on each tyre always". Under "normal" towing conditions,on highways and formed dirt roads,at "normal" speeds,the lack of load sharing would be of little consequence.However,I concede that in genuine "off road" conditions,and at low speeds,load sharing axles could prove their worth? However,Coromal was,for many years,I believe,the second biggest builder of caravans,so perhaps they were doing something correctly? Cheers
Hi Ivan,we have a 2011 coromal 635 lifestyle and I can only say good things about ,it rides very well and tyre wear is very good no signs of tyre scuffing last big trip central coast to wa, it rides and tows fantastic the coromal suspension works very well I'm sure you will be happy with it last van jayco westport rode well great van but the lifestyle is much better .Enjoy Mike G
I have a Coromal 661S. It tows so smoothly with that suspension. We have done about 20,000 kkms, tyres are not even showing signs of wear. It is our 3rd van, and we have had it for four years. I will not change it for anything. It will be running to "the end".
