yes, you're right..... I realised that later.....

however, the van will still need managing and the payload issues (may) remain....the focus may have sharpened somewhat....

id be interested to know what van we are talking about....

Van in question is an Elddis Autoquest 195.

thanks for advice, still a lot to consider and learn I expect, but we will get there.

I've made some notes (to myself) based on the technical info for the 195 which I'll hold onto for now...

however, i realise you've bought the van, but I still strongly suggest you weigh it, with both axle weights as this is going to be a tough one to run at 3.5t.. well it would be for us.....

now you have it, fill it with water, fuel, both of you, all bedding, all camping kit you would normally take..leads, hoses, fluids, chairs, tables, BBQ, electrical kit, adaptors, gas bottle, clothes, shoes, outdoor coats, walking boots, food, cutlery, crockery, bikes, water containers, tv, computers, books, etc, etc......and then weigh it.....both axles 

i sincerely hope it comes in ok.....but this is the only way to be sure (Ellen Ripley, Aliens).....

the key numbers are 1850kg front axle and (the tricky one) 2000kg rear axle.....and 3500kg total...

come back with your numbers and hopefully there won't be an issue, but always best to know, isn't it?

good luck...
