Do not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight stated in the vehicle
documents by the payload.
Built-in accessories, special equipment, the full water tank and the gas bottles
all reduce the
payload.
Adhere to the axle load stated in the vehicle documents.
On loading, make sure that the payload's centre of gravity is as low as possible
(directly above the floor of the vehicle). Otherwise this may affect the driving
characteristics of the vehicle.

4.3.1 Terms
Technically speaking, the term "mass" has now replaced the term "weight".
However, "weight" is still the term more frequent in common use. For better
understanding, "mass" is therefore only used in the following sections for
fixed formulations.
All specifications according to EU norm DIN EN 1646-2.
Maximum permissible
gross weight in a laden
condition
Mass in ready-to-drive
condition
The maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition is the weight that
a vehicle may never exceed.
The maximum permissible overall weight in laden condition consists of the
mass in ready-to-drive condition and of the payload.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer has specified the maximum permissible
gross weight in a laden condition.
The mass in ready-to-drive condition is the weight of the ready-to-drive
standard vehicle.
The mass in ready-to-drive condition is made up as follows:
Unladen weight (mass of the empty vehicle) with factory-installed standard
equipment
Driver's weight
Basic equipment weight
Unladen weight includes lubricants such as oils and coolants which have been
filled, the on-board tool set, the spare wheel and a fuel tank which has been
filled up to 90 %.
75 kg are calculated for the weight of the driver, regardless of how much the
driver really weighs.
Basic equipment includes all equipment and fluids required for safe and proper
vehicle use. The weight of the basic equipment includes:
Water system filled up to 100 % (water tank and pipes)
Gas bottles filled up to 100 %
A full heating system
A full toilet flushing system
