Mass in ready-to-drive
condition
The mass in ready-to-drive condition is the weight of the ready-to-drive
standard vehicle.
The mass in ready-to-drive condition is made up as follows:
z
Unladen weight (mass of the empty vehicle) with factory-installed standard
equipment
z
Driver's weight
z
Basic equipment weight
Unladen weight includes lubricants such as oils and coolants which have been
filled, the on-board tool set, the spare wheel and a fuel tank which has been
filled up to 90 %.
75 kg are calculated for the weight of the driver, regardless of how much the
driver really weighs.
Basic equipment includes all equipment and fluids required for safe and proper
vehicle use. The weight of the basic equipment includes:
z
Water system filled up to 90 % (water tank and pipes)
z
Gas bottles filled up to 90 %
z
A full heating system
z
The power cables for the 230 V power supply
z
A full toilet flushing system
z
The installation kit for an auxiliary battery if an auxiliary battery can be used
The waste water and sewage tanks are empty.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer specifies the mass in ready-to-
drive conditions.
Payload
The payload is made up as follows:
z
Conventional load
z
Additional equipment
z
Personal equipment
You will find explanations on the individual components of the payload in the
following text.
Conventional load
The conventional load is the weight specified by the manufacturer for the pas-
sengers.
Conventional load means: 75 kg are calculated for every seat specified by the
manufacturer, regardless of how much the passengers actually weigh. The
driver's seat is already included as part of the mass in ready-to-drive condition
and must
not
be calculated as part of the conventional load.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer specifies the number of seats.
Example for calculating
the basic equipment
Water tank with 120 l
120 kg
Gas bottles (2 x 11 kg
gas
+ 2 x 14 kg
bottle
)
+ 50 kg
Boiler with 12 l
+ 12 kg
230 V power cable
+ 4 kg
Installation kit for auxiliary battery
+ 20 kg
Total
= 206 kg
Z
The vehicle's payload can be increased by reducing the weight in a ready-
to-drive condition. To do this, it is allowed for example to empty the fluid
containers or to remove the gas bottles.
