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 90 % (water tank and pipes)
Gas bottles filled up to 90 %
A full heating system
The power cables for the 230 V power supply
A full toilet flushing system
The installation kit for an auxiliary battery if an auxiliary battery can be used
The waste water and sewage tanks are empty.
Water tank with 120 l
Gas bottles (2 x 11 kg

Total
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer specifies the mass in ready-to-
drive conditions.
The payload is made up as follows:
Conventional load
Additional equipment
Personal equipment
The vehicle's payload can be increased by reducing the weight in a ready-
to-drive condition. To do this, it is allowed for example to empty the fluid
containers or to remove the gas bottles.
You will find explanations on the individual components of the payload in the
following text.
The conventional load is the weight specified by the manufacturer for the pas-
sengers.
Conventional load means: 75 kg are calculated for every seat specified by the
manufacturer, regardless of how much the passengers actually weigh. The
driver's seat is already included as part of the mass in ready-to-drive condition
and must not be calculated as part of the conventional load.
In the vehicle documents, the manufacturer specifies the number of seats.
