Can anyone tell me the unladen weight of their Autosleeper, California, Carthago, or Dehler, Reimo, etc etc Motor Caravan.
I've just unearthed an EU amendment regarding Motor Caravans and taxation - if a Motor Caravan has an unladen weight (reference weight,they call it) of over 2000kg they are excluded from the M class Heavy Passenger Vehicle (i.e treated the same as N1-11 and N1-111 Light Goods Vehicles) MVEG emissions group.
Just to illustrate how this will affect us -
A Blue I 88bhp Multivan (without poptop) weighs in at 1971kg unladen
A Red I 150bhp Multivan (without poptop) weighs in at 2001kg unladen
By adding the additional 60kg weight for a poptop would make all T4b Multivans over the 2000kg threshold. However T4a Multivan unladen weights start at 1705kg
The unladen weights are not published in the Motor Caravan brochures, so any info will be gratefully received to build a picture of how much weight a Camper build will add to your panel van and Caravelle, to make it exempt from the rules...
