Yup! I have noticed that my '90 sags. I attribute it to the camping
utilities weight, although it seems that VW engineering could have
compensated for this. At least when the water tank is empty and no
supplies, etc.

Please inform me of a good long term solution if one is available or found.

Thanks!

Chris
