Jim,

Interesting numbers.

Last Time you weighed the Van you had,

4350    2200    2150

This time,

4750    2500    2250

Front is 300 lbs heavier.

That's enough to jack up the front tire air pressures a bit.

I've added your numbers to my collection of weight data.

good road,
good adventure,
good life,

larry chase
