W/B done
Got the 10 weighed yesterday, 1630 pounds.
Vans uses the figure of 1615 pounds for the W/B calc in the instructions, so it appears to be about 15 lbs heavy-------but then I have dual battery, and alternators, and full headliner.
So, I feel pretty good about the 1630

Moving on slowly but surely, working from the back forward 
Note the vanity pockets in the rear side panels.

Removable package tray
Jan, you might be interested in this mod.
Your vanity pockets are a neat idea, may have to steal that one-----
It looks like you have a latch on the flap cover----hinged at the bottom?? And is that an oxygen fitting on the cover?

How did you get it that light?
I know I have a lot of Copper in mine, but that is 53lbs lighter than we did! 
Well done all the same! |

Thanks Mike
The flap covers hinges where the carpet and leather meets. Two reasons:- one is to make it much easier to remove the front seats during inspections and secondly to store the o2 cannula's in. And yes the two brass fittings are o2 fittings for the pax.
I really like your idea with the cover. Might still do it as it is really easy to implement.
