No battery, or gas bottles, no cooking pans, cutlery, food, towels, bedding etc. No toiletries, books, TV, spare wheel?
The water in the pipes and the water heater and the loo flush add up too, there can easily be 10-15kg there.

It should be on a plate on your van too. My Miro, or unladen weight, is 1290 and my laden is 1443. My unladen included a gas bottle but not my leisure battery. I got so obssessed in the end with weighing everything down to the last gram that I visited a local weighbridge!
My motor mover alone was 34kg! I have to check everything in and everything out in terms of weight! Too much time on my hands?! Lol!!

Not too much time on your hands, just sensible. It is all to easy to overload the van, and its surprising how each little item adds up.

The clothes go in the boot as that's the wifes job to pack and it's always the last job to be done. I've already loaded the van with food, booze, bikes, bedding and kids toys so the boot is the only place left.
