Subject:Why are campers higher at the rear?
From:Simon Reinhardt
Date:Thu, 10 Jun 2004 12:17:32 -0600

I looked through the archives, OK?
My question is this: Why do most of the campers I've seen (and
especially the syncros) seem to sit lower in the front?
ETKA doesn't show any difference in part # between camper and passenger
vans (at least not for syncros).
It doesn't seem like the weight distribution would explain much- the
bulk of the extra weight is between the wheels.
Does it have something to do with improving the aerodynamics of the
top? Then why is there no different part #?
Besides curiosity, I ask because I have a set of passenger syncro
springs I'd like to put on my camper to improve the front approach
angle a little...

Befuddled,
Simon
