A quick query here. I've not be able to see other T25's up & close since I've bought "Pootle" but have noticed that mine leans over to the right slightly. Is this normal i.e with all the kit on the right such as the fridge, cooker, furniture etc would that really make the van slightly right side heavy or my shocks & springs gone on that side

your thoughts much appreciated

weight does it. Westfalia's all have the 'westy lean' Some peps have changed springs / added spacers to level there campers.

Possibly a bit of both, it's not unusual for them to lean to the cupboard side due to the weight.

It's normal.....It's to stop your beer falling out of the fridge....


I lowered mine last year, new springs and shocks, and it has started to lean already

jack it up at the rear and check the spring , just to make sure that the pig-tail hasn't snapped


doh

Thanks guys for the reassurance. However, must show my lack of T25 knowledge here "pigs nose" ? didn't know I had porkers under me van. Do they make an onik noise when they are bust

No, they squeal when busted.

its the end of the rear spring ,

pig tail, surely? the ends of the coiled spring are curved around on itself, these sometimes snap off. Mine did but I didn't notice any leaning whith it (camper)

hehehe right old type'o

come on i have been on nights

My piggies whatsit snapped whilst driving on our jollies...It went with a hell of a loud bang. Didn't lean over though, but rattled a lot 'til I removed the broken bit.
