VEHICLE MASS DESCRIPTION
MAXIMUM TECHNICALLY PERMISSIBLE LADEN
MASS:
Maximum vehicle weight at full load authorised by the
manufacturer (see page 6, letter D). This weight must never be
exceeded.
VEHICLE UNLADEN WEIGHT:
BASE weight of the vehicle without liquids or driver.
MASS IN RUNNING ORDER:
The weight of the empty BASE vehicle with driver (75 kg), fuel
tank 100% full, clean water tank 90% full (filled with 20 litres
whilst travelling), one gas cylinder for living purposes (15 kg).
This is calculated according to Directive 2007/46/EC, which
allows a tolerance of +/- 5%.
GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT:
This is determined by the difference between the technically
permissible maximum mass and the mass in running order. It
is the maximum weight that can be used for: living purposes,
transported passengers as defined by the manufacturer (minus
the driver who is included in the mass in running order) and their
personal belongings.
CAUTION
The weight of non-standard accessories is not included
in the running order mass.
Everything not included in the vehicle's BASE version,
both living pod and chassis, increases the mass in
running order and consequently reduces the gross
vehicle weight by an amount equivalent to their weight.
CAUTION
Ensure that you have correctly calculated the weight
of the items which you intend to transport in the
motorhome. For example:
• Strollers, optional equipment, living necessities in
the motorhome.
• Personal effects, clothing, supplies, pets.
• Bicycles, sailboards, sports equipment, etc.
