Some idea of the size may be a help. Otherwise like finding a needle in the dark.

Stan,
My 82 Viscount Grand Tourer 16ft says "Tare 800kg" on it's rego papers.
That doesn't mean that it's totally accurate, but is a start.
The Aerolite is quite a bit lighter but I'm not prepared to guess by how much.
The safest and easiest way is to take it to a public weighbridge and weigh it. Keep the weighbridge docket with your other papers relating to the van.
Hope this helps
Disco.

from memory the Tare was around 940Kg and 960Kg with two gas cylinders, but best to get it weighed to be on the safe side.
Remember to empty the water tanks, and have empty gas cylinder(s) or subtract the weight of any LPG in the cylinder(s).
Cheers, ozjohn.

Stan,
leave the Gas bottle on Mate, just subtract the gas weight for the weigh bridge figure.
I.e. a full cylinder will have 8 - 9Kg of LPG.
