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

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!)
