Rick,
A while back in 1996, an owner of an EVC in Washington state was dissatisfied
with her vehicle for, among other things, it leaned to the left. VW was not
very interested in solving the problem and blamed it on Winnie and their
location of all the camper equipment on the driver's side (i.e., potable
water tank, gray water tank, refrigerator, stove, propane tank, and all the
storage bins which would be loaded to various degrees). But VW said they
could readjust some things but it would not be gratis. She finally became
disgusted with the vehicle not only for the leaning problem but for many of
the other items that have been discussed on this list (I think she personally
experienced many of them).
As mentioned by John Waterman, perhaps adjustment of the torsion bars could
solve the problem but I would wonder what the loaded condition of the vehicle
should be at the time adjustments are made (tanks and cabinets fully loaded
or empty?). Perhaps VW USA or a member of this group would have a sensible
recommendation.
