My experiences with sagging, leaning vanagon are this.. Back then in 1990 I bought a 1985 Weekender (poptop, no kitchen, rear driver side closet)... the whole family was excited... imagine a 5 years old vanagon ! ! ! Anyway, it leans on the driver side a bit and the whole rear sags about 1" difference from the front. Yes the front rides higher with an empty van and no one in it. So my mechanic shimmed the rear... with thicker shim on the driver side (or he doubled the shims?). He uses cut plastic kitchen board to shims... now... how thick? I don't remember because it was long ago...but he tried a couple times to his liking... I was very happy after till the day I sell the van... which I regret bitterly later on.... :-) On Tue, Feb 9, 2021 at 9:23 AM OlRivrRat <OlRivrRat@comcast.net> wrote: > David > > My preference is to move the House Battery to Pass’ Side Under > Rear Seat > > & for Those Who Need Propane, move the Tank to the Pass’ Side or Delete It > & > > go with Portable ~ > > Moving tha Spare to the Pass’ Side would help but might get in > Your Rear > > Vision if it mounts high ~ Why did You opt to put the spare on the rear ~ > > Might also check to see how much worse the Lean is with Full H2O > Tank ~ > > ORR ~ Dean > |
