On my list of things to do today, I had written down “drive a vintage vehicle”. My choices at the moment are the Travelwagon or a 1948 Willys Jeep- today I reached for the Travelwagon. There is a roadside scale that I drove across that told me the van weighs 3250 lbs with me and a ⅓ tank of gas. The front axle had 1800 lbs on it and the rear had 1450. A little quick arithmetic told me the van has a 55/45 weight distribution.
My van still has the cast iron weight over the fuel tank which is ~200 lbs of dead weight. Doing some more arithmetic, if I subtract the weight of the cast iron lump I arrive at a 60/40 distribution. Would this upset how the van drives much if the weight was removed?
Also where do the jack and handle store within the van? Lug wrench?![Embarassed](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_redface.gif)
