The Car & Driver Road Test of the 1986 Vanagon Syncro Camper http://www.vanagon.com/syncros/technica/car-and-driver/ states that the non-syncro version of this particular Vanagon model weighs 3,670 lbs. Mine weighs around 3,750-lbs without me in it. It should have a refrigerator behind the passenger seat, a Dometic RC-160E. Good luck, Tim Maynard Southard <echomhs@GIS.NET> wrote: I'm looking at towing a Westy Weekender. This is the model with Pop-top, but no appliances - just a full width rear seat, pop-up table and a small rear-facing seat behind the driver's seat. There is stock cabinets only in the rear driver's side. I'm pretty sure this is the stock configuration. Anyway, I'm trying to determine if I can tow it on my trailer. I know what my trailer's capacity is and I know what my tow vehicle's capacity is - I just don't know the Westy Weekender's actual empty weight. Anybody know? Thanks, Maynard '86 DoubleCab Diesel (not tow vehicle!) '82 Vanagon Diesel (ditto!)
