NEED HELP ON THIS...
Hey guys - looking for some ideas here. We just had everything weighed and its good new bad news. Good news, the van only weighs 5500lbs. The whole camper/off road build weighs less than the factory build with 4 rows of seats! I believe it was around 5749lb stock.
The micro toy hauler on the other hand weighs 2300lbs, which is fine but I have 550lbs of tongue weight with 2 dirt bikes loaded. It also takes about 300lbs off of the front axle which I don't like. Up front is just a wood framed bathroom wall, thetford toilet, 13g water tank, weber BBQ and 3/4 plywood cabinet. The bikes get mounted as far back as possible, literally touched the ramp door. I imagine that I could have the axle moved forward but otherwise have no idea why the weight balance is so bad in these. I guess they just assume that you want more tongue weight, always.
Any ideas? thx
