The STREETEC 'Offroad & Camping' complete kit transforms your VW T7 Multivan or California into a versatile travel vehicle without compromising on weight or ride comfort. With just 10 kg of added weight compared with the factory suspension, you get a fully adjustable air suspension system with a height range of 340 to 515 mm at the front axle and 355 to 515 mm at the rear axle. Whether driving a loaded camper on a gravel road or cruising on the motorway, you can adjust the vehicle height to suit the situation. For eligible vehicles, a permissible gross vehicle weight of up to 3,400 kg is also possible.

Weight uprating up to 3,400 kg GVW

Payload capacity is often limited on the VW T7 California. With the STREETEC air suspension, the permissible gross vehicle weight of eligible T7 Multivan and California models can be increased to up to 3,400 kg and the permissible rear axle load to up to 1,800 kg where approved. For a vehicle originally rated at 2,980 kg GVW, that represents an increase of up to 420 kg in permissible gross vehicle weight, while the suspension itself adds only approx. 10 kg compared with stock. The additional net payload in this example is therefore approximately 410 kg, provided no other limits apply.

The achievable GVW depends on the front axle load stated in the vehicle documents, the vehicle configuration, and the load ratings of the wheels and tyres. For example, with a permissible front axle load of 1,510 kg and a rear axle limit of 1,800 kg, the combined permissible GVW is initially 3,310 kg. Any increase to the front axle rating requires a separate assessment.

Important: Purchasing the suspension kit does not include installation, modification inspection or entry of the increased GVW into the vehicle documents. These services are arranged separately and are subject to review of vehicle data and the applicable approval and inspection requirements. More information on T7 weight uprating (German) .

More ground clearance when you need it

At maximum height, the kit raises your T7 to up to 515 mm at both axles – roughly 75 mm of additional ground clearance at the front axle compared with stock. This helps on unpaved access roads, dirt tracks and uneven campsites. For motorway driving, the vehicle can be lowered to standard height or below, potentially improving aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.

Autoleveling: automatically at the right height

The STREETEC autoleveling Box is available as an option. It automatically responds to load changes and maintains the selected ride height. Whether you have a full camper conversion, a heavy roof box or a changing payload, the vehicle stays at its target height. This supports consistent ride characteristics and headlight alignment under load.

Lightweight engineering meets function

With just 10 kg of added weight compared with the factory suspension, the STREETEC kit is a lightweight air suspension solution for the T7. Every kilogram matters, especially in a camper operating near its payload limit. The kit features McPherson struts at the front and rolling-lobe air springs with separate dampers at the rear, tailored to the T7 platform.
