When I first got my van (Clarence) it was for the purpose of moving. We fit
everything in there that we owned. I think my record, was with the couch, the
dresser, and about 6 or 7 boxes full of other items at the same time.
Granted, we were only driving a whole block away, but I think that is it for
my van. Although, at work, I know of an instance where about 6 or 7 hundred
pounds of steel was put in the belly of a Vanagon camper. It took the load
well, but it dropped the height considerably. Maybe left about 1-2 inches
clearance underneath. Thankfully, that time we only had to drive it 50',
otherwise, it would not have happened in one trip.
