For the personal equipment, according to the applicable regulations, the man-
ufacturer must use a minimum weight that is determined according to the fol-
lowing formula:
Formula
Minimum weight M (kg) = 10 x N + 10 x L + 30
Explanation
N = maximum number of beds, as stated by the manufacturer
L = total length of the caravan in metres, not including the drawbar
Example
Caravan with 4 beds and a length of 5 m:
Minimum weight M (kg) = 10 x 4
beds
+ 10 x 5
metres
+ 30 = 120 kg
3.5.2
Calculating the payload
The payload (see section 3.5.1) is the difference in weight between
z
Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and
z
Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.
The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum per-
missible gross weight in laden condition and the mass specified by the manu-
facturer in ready-to-drive condition is however only a theoretical value.
Only if the vehicle is weighed with full tanks, full gas bottles and complete addi-
tional equipment on a public weighbridge, can the actual payload be deter-
mined.
The actual payload is the difference between the maximum permissible gross
weight in laden condition and the weighed vehicle weight.
The result is the weight that is permitted for the actual load of the personal
equipment.
X
The payload calculation at the factory is partly based on all-inclusive
weights. For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in
a laden condition must not be exceeded.
X
Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with all luggage and personal objects) weighed on
a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.
