2500kg (aprox 5500lbs) is the maximum weight a Vanagon can weigh.  This is
1200kg on the front wheels and 1300kg on the rear wheels.  At least it is
like this in Canada and in Germany.  The exception to this would be some
Syncros in Germany.  My camper is 2.81t according to the papers I got with
it.  Canada only recognizes it at 2.5t - I don't think anyone really cares
as I load the camper over 2.5t on a regular basis.  Water, food, wife, kids,
dog and camping gear for a four day weekend weighed in a 2800kg at the truck
scales!

Subject: Weight Capacity




A friend of mine wants me to haul cases of calendars that she made and is
marketing for the holidays.  I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what
the maximum (safe) weight to carry in my Van would be.  The first shipped
was 1600 lbs, so I didn't take it all - haul (according to the skid weight)
about 1,200 lbs no problem.


Thanks
