I put my Morelo onto the bathroom scales this week and blimey, has she put on some weight recently!
Its now running at 7,120Kgs with empty utility tanks, half a tank of fuel and not a single beer!
It is good to know what it weighs though and I recommend you do it too just for peace of mind - it was free at the local authority waste site weighbridge as I didn't need a ticket (or Plate I think he said?) £10 if I wanted an official weight.
Just remember (and I didn't), the access ramp, although not looking that steep, still needs you to lift her back up on the suspension to avoid hitting the underside bumper blocks on the ground. Another good lesson.
The guys at the site were really nice too, some of them asked to have a look inside, so of course, I obliged (boots off though lads). They were keen to know how to buy one and their estimates of the cost of my Morelo were dreadfully inadequate; one said "£49K tops I reckon" - he couldn't believe the real numbers!
