    I’ve seen a whole Skidoo Tundra disassembled and put in the back of the original 4 place cub, with the exception of the tub which was strapped on to the bottom. No way you could fit the same volume in a PA22 sized baggage even with the back seat out.

    Jim Younkin made that rear tube at the back of a Pacer baggage removable on the Mystery Pacer.

    Close to 400 lbs. Not hard to get that much weight camping, especially if you plan on hauling large animals out of the tundra. I am hoping to test out the stock PA-20 baggage hunting this fall.

    I've had a 55 gallon drum full of avgas in the back of mine. It handled that just fine.

    When I fly into the back country I take my mountain bike along. Having the door in the back is a real asset.

    I carried an engine I rebuilt for a friend in mine.

    I agree about the rear door being an asset. When I travel, I sleep in my plane, I'm 6'4", the rear bulkhead is my headboard.
