Hey listees, what's the most you've carried in your
rig?

I'm a carpenter and recently I helped a friend build
some covered parking for his "project" cars, room for
nine.

I made several trips to the site, often ridiculously
loaded, like with 960 lbs of concrete.

The winner was the trip where I had 10 10' 4x6s, 10
10' 2x8s, and 48 10' 2x6s.  The lumber almost all fit
with the passenger seat moved forward, but talk about
slowing me down.

For the trips with plywood I split the load into 2
700lb loads.  The Vanagon is great for this since the
entire load of 4'x8' sheets can ride indoors.

Again, very impressed.
