Next year I need to renew my licence and have a medical, because of a historic problem I probably will not get it, so I need to prepare to lose some of my goodies from the van. I bought a Hymer ML1 580 that is presently 4200kgs and it is possible to have it at 3500kg but with a basic form. So what needs to go to get it down?
Wife and her clothes 70kgs
Spare wheel and Jack 30kgs
0ne gas bottle 18 kgs and then single regulator
Towbar. 63 kgs
Awning 32kg
two habitation batteries 40kg
Clothing and food in cupboards 25kg
Travel with little water 30kg
Travel at half tanks of fuel 60kgs
no grey water at all at anytime 25kgs
Corner seat and cushion 10kgs
Left door electric step (waste of space and never ever used)6kg
GRP second roof for antihail 30kgs (not do-able obviously)
Automatic gearbox 48kgs extra over manual (again not do-able)
Nothing of weight in garage .ie . no chairs, silver screens, bicycle or motorbike. ?????kgs
Second carpet in cab area 5kgs
Carpets in hab area 3kgs
TV and aerial system 8kgs
Cooker and oven 33kgs.
Remove drop down bed and mechanism 78kgs
Fixed table out and replace with folding one 25kgs
probably a few others I haven't looked at but probably the wife out and keep the towbar and fix a trailer for all the thing I might need to have but cannot carry in the van.
This is ridiculous as the weight is the same as it always was but in different places. The wife will complain sitting out in an open trailer under the sheet, but as she refuses to drive it , the needs must.
