15 - OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
15.2 Technical notes
• The mass of the vehicle in running order (reg. EU
1230/2012) includes: 75 kg driver, 90% of fuel tank
capacity, 100% gas bottle (one bottle), capacity of
fresh water tank considered suitable for running.
• Anything not included in the standard vehicle
version (whether referring to mechanics or to
the living space) can cause an increase in mass
in running order with a resulting reduction of the
pay-mass. This reduction may result in the need to
reduce the number of approved seats, if the total
mass of optional equipment exceeds the value of
the residual pay-mass. It is therefore advisable to
consult the masses values of individual pieces of
optional equipment listed in the price list before
installing any piece of optional equipment. Please
remember that the law does not permit exceeding
the technically permissible maximum mass value. It
is therefore advisable not to exceed the technically
permissible maximum mass and that sufficient
pay-mass remains for passengers and luggage.
In the event of installation of a bike rack or of
declassing of the Heavy chassis, the approved
seating number may vary. In this case, always
check with the dealer regarding any changes to
approved seats.
• The calculation of pay-mass is given by the
difference between the technically permissible
maximum laden mass and the mass in running
order. This figure includes 75 kg for each
passenger (not including the driver), and the
minimum pay-mass (given by the formula 10 kg for
each metre of length of the vehicle plus 10 kg for
each passenger, usable by the crew for luggage
and equipment), which will be separated to obtain
the residual pay-mass. The residual pay-mass can
be used for the installation of optional equipment
and for loading more luggage.
• In order to maintain optimal setup of the vehicle in
running and stationary conditions, it is advisable to
distribute the pay-mass in a uniform manner over
the surface of the vehicle.
• The overall vehicle height is increased in case of
installation of optional equipment on the roof, such
as – for example - satellite antennas and solar
panels.
• In case of installation of optional equipment -
especially in the back area, like for example of
bike racks, tow hitch, and so on - you must always
be sure you observe the technically permissible
maximum mass on the axle.
