Looks like Peter Cheney from the Globe and Mail Drive section will be including my rig in his "Spotted" column. I'll post the link when it shows up.

Damn! Look at that set up! How is it with the weight hanging off the back? Wheelie machine?

You don't notice it effecting the balance - these things are front heavy anyway. But you do notice the weight of the load. Camper interior, rooftop tent, and a load of equipment and veg oil in the back makes the poor little engine work pretty hard.

Great van have you done any engine mods to help the ole girl cope with all the extra bulk?

Do the waves get any bigger there ? It looks like a top spot!

Nope. I haven't read anything that suggests power can be increased without compromising the engine. I just take it slow when I have to. most of the time I don't even notice, and usually have no trouble keeping up with US hwy traffic.

That shot is near Coos Bay, Oregon, near the Sand Dunes recreation area. Wide open Pacific so it all depends on the weather, which was calm at the time.
