    I certainly understand why some might like to see extra room for
carrying "stuff" in our RV's, but am I the only one who has great misgivings
about making room for more baggage considerably further AFT behind the CG?
    As a benchmark reference, note that Van's gives us the option to drill
out lightening holes in the vertical stab in order to not just save weight,
but more importantly, to get some weight off the tail. Those holes are only
good for a few ounces at best, and they can be important ounces, but now
there seems to be a number of people willing to put more POUNDS way behind
the CG.
    I'm thinking that it's only a matter of time before we hear of the first
accident caused by too much weight aft of the CG. Sure, we're all smart
enough to carefully figure our load and it's affect on the CG for a
particular flight, but what if a load unexpectedly shifted rearward? Even a
few inches could make a big difference if it happened halfway back toward
the tail. An inflight "emergency" like that might go undetected for a while,
but could bite hard on final when the tanks have burned off lot's of weight
formerly in front of the CG and a pilot slows down for landing.
    Just my .02 without trying to offend anyone.
