May I suggest that you take the caravan to your local weigh bridge minus all personal efects waterbarrels gas bottle EHU cable but leave battery and spare wheel if any find the weight add 180kgs to van weight this will give you a close mtplm figure. the 180kgs is for your personal effects gas bottle food toys cloths ehu cable etc. My last van had a plate stating Mtplm 1347 kgs miro 1157 giving me a peronal effects load of 190kgs. but plate on chassis stated max load 1600kgs with 100kgs loading per wheel tow hitch max 2000kgs so I persume the differance was allowance for the human occupants while on site A BPW chassis has a plate under the plastic cover on A frame near tow hitch also a plate on axle giving makers van weight on leaving factory but due to the age of your van it might have disappeared. Maybe other vanners can give info on other makes of chassis where to look for info. good luck in your search.
