How does your result compare to the Euro cycle figures?
I carry about 150kg of tools (plus a ladder on the roof) in my vans and still easily beat the official City cycle (as I drive only in the city). Some people on here have even carried ballast to increase their momentum storage.
Look forward to seeing the pics, (for our US readers my Kangoo is a similar type of van), but Renault didn't leave much on the table, particularly as I drive 99% city. The grill is already so tiny I dare not block it. I do want to do a diffuser when the weather cools and maybe skirt the rear wheels (this should suit the styling pretty well).
PS if your Kammback is split in the middle you can still use your doors. Adding a Kamm to most vans should be pretty easy.
