Aw heck, Mine has Seating for ten and room to spare. :-) When I start pulling out the milk crates, I usually draw the line at 12 for off road or longer trips. I don't like to run the weight more than 1 ton over the gross rating, the suspension starts to bottom out on the bigger bumps or at least it used to on the older stretch. I guess I haven't done any dirt roads with 12 people in this one yet... -Otmar- 82/86 Stretch Vanagon Westfalia Syncro GTI. "Power of two" http://www.evcl.com/vw Several EVs (Electric Vehicles) |
