Hmmm, I can see yours is a bit heavier . All I can remember is my tare was 2252kg.

It is interesting to note your tare is 56 kg heavier.

Our 17.56-2 which we collect Monday has a tare of 1808kg, approx 50 kg heavier than most vans made earlier in the year. Have the factory started doing something different? Is this part of the "War on Warranty"? Or is it just the way it is.

I joked that Gerry Ryan must have left his wallet in the van when it was being weighed!:heh:

Our new 16.49-3OB has Tare of 1845, GTM of 1991, ATM of 2170.

This gives us a load capacity of only 325 when I believed shower vans had load of 375.....
