That's not so much an indication of how much extra stuff I'm carrying, but, rather, more an indication that, for some strange reason, my t300, which number one would presume was indicative of a 3000 kg gross vehicle weight, is in fact, stamped with a 2880 kg GVW, just 80 kg more than a t280 Transit.I've been robbed! Wow! If that's all accurate-that's amazing. Especially the T300 but 2880 bit...Will it change anything for you?And what is the payload btw?

650lts
My T300 is fine carrying a 650 Litre tank plus kit. But no way would I have chosen this van if I needed a 1000 litre tank. You wont find a short wheel base low top van with the pay load required "I think we need a bigger van"
Where can you go to get weighed for free?

Quote from: Neil Jones on December 17, 2013, 09:23:51 amWhere can you go to get weighed for free? Hi Neil!I phoned my local police station and enquired there, with the notion that they would definitely want to take a suspect vehicle to the nearest weighbridge.
One of my customers has a weighbridge, depending on where various tractors or other farm vehicles been parked/abandoned, i have to drive over it to where i park A bit far away for most of you guys though
