weight

[thin gravy]

Just out of interest ,what weight are your demountables, hope to be within 650kg , haven't put the wood burner in yet though!

Skarosser carries a plate on it saying 650kg (which I always thought hugely optimistic myself)

My camper says "dry weight 1400lbs" - which is a comedy 635kg.

But it is American, and that "dry weight" probably excludes battery, awning, water, toilet, furnishings, propane cylinder, food, camping chairs and table, steps, computers, beer and wine.

Undoubtedly also excludes the heavy duty metal and marine ply roof I built, roof rails, solar panels, safe, reinforced heavy duty propane locker and jack mounting point.

And also the Jerry can of diesel, various spares, tool kit, shovel, levelling blocks, spare bits of waffle board, compressor, tyre irons, puncture repair kits, climbing gear, extra gas stove and cylinder, first aid kits, 12 ton bottle jack, etc.

So you can already see a pattern emerging here,
by all means aim at sub 700 kg but only if you travel real light

[derestrictor]

well if they are anything like cars & vans its no fluids, a motorbike sized battery no spare or tools, excess fluids like washer, minimal fuel
