Thanks, Joe. The Doka is a bit lighter than Vanagons when empty. This pic
was taken with over 500 lbs of "junk in the my trunk". When I weighed this
puppy for registration purposes, it was 3310lbs with me in it. I'm wondering
what it will ride like with the cargo bed empty. That's the next project.
