Strut-Type Shock Absorber Specification Example for Camper Conversions: Touring Version
Strut-Type Shock Absorber Specification Example for Camper Conversions: Touring Version
This is a worked specification for strut-type shock absorber in a touring version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The touring version version exists because the duty cycle on camper conversions is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually packing that arrived crushed at the port.
