I need to find the 'right' weights for a Knaus Sudwind 550 TK...

I've got the chance of my boss's, as he's now got his eye on a Hobby.

Now, in another thread I asked 'What will tow 1500 / 1600kgs etc...??' for when we change our current van.

So this has now thrown a spanner in...

He's given me the file that came with his but it doesn't list the 550TK, only a 550KU.

The 550 KU listed though, comes in at 1500kgs MTPLM...???

So does anyone know the actual weights and dimensions of a Sudwind 550TK??

I should have thought a Shogun LWB is likely to be able to tow your average semi-detached provided you fit wheels and a hitch to it!

The Mitsubishi website indicates the Shogun can tow 3 metric tonnes (double the 1500kg you were worrying about!)

Looks like you may have some wriggle room

Yeah, but when the day comes and I'm changing the tow car, what will tow it....???

Just done a Google, and found a site that says it's 1700kgs!!!

Also, when I need to update our CC outfit details, I will be able to fill in the right details, and not just a 'Guessitmate'....
