[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 662662, member: 7268"] LW as you looking to purchase, pay particular attention to Tare and ATM / GTM specs as many vans have little difference available, meaning load carrying is very limited, some with only 400 kg to 500 kg payload. Keep in mind tare does not included water tanks full or gas bottles etc. Take a 150 kg out of 400 kg for water and gas and your not left with a real lot to load? In short you can carry stuff all in them :rolleyes: Also check if specs given are ATM or GTM as a [B]2000 kg[/B] [B]ATM[/B] van will carry more than a van with a [B]2100kg GTM[/B] (with same tare) as GTM usually allows 250kg for tow ball weight where as ATM does not include ball weight in it's max figures. That is why many Van manufacturers use GTM figure as it makes van look more appealing specs wise. GTM will always be higher than ATM. Good luck in the quest bloke. 👍 [/QUOTE]
