Weights and measures
Posted: December 10th, 2019, 10:14 pm
So I have an S Karosser from the wonderful Golum. It’s an EC6SH 2.1
My truck has a load capacity of 1045kg
The camper i believe weighs 680kg
The wife and kids weigh 100kg
This leaves 265kg
We are planning a minimum 3 month trip next year possibly longer round Europe.
Bikes add 52kg
Kitesurf kit 15kg
Awning 26kg
Awning room 19kg
Solar panel 10kg
Camp chairs and table 6kg
Computer ipads etc 10kg
Gas cylinders 30kg
Water 60kg
That leaves 37kg and i havent added the air suspension or in car dvd players or toiletries or clothes.
Does anyone worry about this? Is it just me?
So I am thinking about a trailer to carry some kit and maybe provide a spare room to shove the kids in when we’ve had enough of each other.
Or a truck with a better payload.
How about a defender 130?
Any ideas? We love the demountable and like being able to ditch it and bomb into a town without hassle or being too big, i like NOT towing as it really is so much less stressful especially going backwards.
Cheers all
Will
