I just bought a flat nose bus to build toter home out of. My plan is to the remove the back wall, cut 15' of body of and put the rear wall back on. The I have a 17' rollback tow truck bed I want to mount on the rear of the bus.
Question do you think that a rollback bed and car on it would be to much weight behind the rear axle?
My thinking:
Fuel tank with 150gal =1250lbs
15' of body and seats =2200lbs ?????
Rough weight removed behind axle 3300lbs
Rollback weight 2700lb
Heavy car 5000lb
Total 7700lb
So roughly 4400 lb more behind the axle. But I would move the fuel up by the front axle so it would be a counter weight
Do you think the steering would be light
