I took days to pack my house and shop into a moving van. Remembering a friend who had had to re-pack three times to get the load distribution right, I measured the fender to tire distances frequently, so it went down evenly, front first. It really should have been plackarded with limits to such activity. With better internal shelving, I might have been OK with 2 or even 4' less length, but I doubt it had much effect on mileage. The load was tight enough not to shift during deer-avoidance. :-)
