Uncle and kman1,
Those numbers are identical to those in the rego papers for mine too, although I have added an extra 9kg gas bottle onto the drawbar since rego.

Mine is an 82 Grand Tourer 16ft poptop, across front meals space (converts to friendly double if needed), RHS_ Frdge, sink, stove (4 burner and small oven below), single bed. LHS_ Meal space, door, narrow pantry cupboard, wardrobe, single bed. These is a small cupboard between the beds at the rear.
It is currently on 195x14 LT tyres run at 40psi on tar, down to 30on dirt.

I tow it with a Discovery TD5 with a 2 bar WDH, no problems, the van follows the Disco, doesn't bounce or sway at speeds up to 100kph (when passing).

Hope this helps in your decision making.

Disco.

Uncle and Disco,
The numbers you quote are about the same as I had in mind,however on the rego.papers of the van I'm looking at shows a tare = 1250 and agg.=1750.The van is in excellent condition complete with lots of extras.I measured the van to confirm that its 16'.My problem I only have 1600kg tow bar.I've been quoted $1450 to change towbar to 2300kg with weight distribution hitch.Do not want or need to pull heavier van.Thanks a lot.
