A trip to the weighbridge

While away in the van earlier this month was thinking about all the stuff we carry and a mild panic. Van's miro is 900kg and mtplm is 1000kg.
Anyone know what the following weigh?
Water in flush
Bedding
Pans
Cutlery
Jack
Step
Winder
Fire extinguisher
Propex water heater
Aquaroll
Wastewater
Gas bottle
Spare wheel
Battery
Omnistor canopy and handle
All the other stuff I've forgotten about
Neither do I. So today on way back from short break took van to a weighbridge.
Great news! 960kg so well within the limit.
Definitely an exercise worth doing as t has given us great peace of mind.

Wellllll
I believe Thetty flush tanks hold 15 litres of water, which is 15kg
2 people 4 pillows and 2 Duvalays =10kg
Saucepan set 2kg
Plastic plates & cutlery 2kg
Jack?
Step?
Winder?
Fire extinguisher depends on size, it should give weight on it.
Propex boiler the 10 litre one is 9kg empty but 19kg full
Aquaroll 6kg
Wastemaster 6kg
6kg Calor cylinder 13kg when full.
Spare wheel 20kg
Battery and charger, if factory fit 30kg.
Total of things you listed 113kg when all are full.
Additional stuff that's on our list:
Clothes (2 adults) 24kg
Fridge contents say 10kg
Drinks 10kg
Footwear 8kg
Personal towels 5kg
Folding chairs 3kg
Toiletries 3kg
Levelling ramp (1) 1kg
Dry food 2kg
Books/magazines 2kg
Dog towels 3kg
Dog bag 3kg
Folding table 1kg
Additional total 75kg
Overall total 188kg
If you fit a mover that's an extra 30kg

We travel light, but the other year when we set off for Croatia, being cautious, I too took a trip to the local weighbridge, My 1000kg mtplm Troll came in at a satisfying 1100Kg. We had relatively little 'stuff' in the van, but gas bottle, Omnistore, Motor Mover, battery etc (we all know that list) made their mark..

The 1000kg MTPLM Troll's, with just around 100kg of payload available were ridiculous. You can fit cost options that weigh more than 100kg and have no payload available for any load at all.

The Omnistore is very heavy, when we removed ours, it took two of us to lift it. I’ve since wondered about the weight of them just being on one side of the
eriba !

Weighbridges are a bit of a sore point for me. My Puck L mtplm, 790Kg - my measured empty weight apart from a gas bottle….. 780Kg! Yes, a payload of 10Kg, and I can’t upgrade. I would suggest when buying new: 1) get the highest plated weight possible; 2) be careful with the options list. When buying secondhand insist on a gross weight check before purchase. I didn’t and relied instead on the “oh yes, Eriba’s are known for their high payload…right!
