The waste water and sewage tanks are empty.
Example for calculating
the basic equipment
Water tank with 100 l (for weight reasons, filling quantity can
be reduced by opening an overflow tap at the factory)
100 kg
Gas bottle (11 kg
gas
+ 5.5 kg
aluminium gas bottle
) + 16.5 kg
Boiler with 10 l + 10 kg
Cable reel for the 230 V power supply + 4 kg

The weight in ready-to-drive condition and the actual weight are shown by
the manufacturer in the vehicle documents.
The payload is made up as follows:
Conventional load
Additional equipment
Personal equipment
The vehicle's payload can be increased by reducing the actual weight.
To do this, it is allowed for example to empty the fluid containers or to re-
move the gas bottles.
You will find explanations on the individual components of the payload in the
following text.
The conventional load is the weight specified by the manufacturer for the
passengers.
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.
Additional equipment includes accessories and special equipment. Exam-
ples of additional equipment include:
Caravan coupling
Roof rail
Awning
Bike or motorcycle rack
