Thanks for your reply. We didn't buy the caravan new. So how would I know if it was standard? The front locker has fitting for two gas bottle and the spare wheel. They are brackets for these items to fit.
It's a single axle caravan and we are lucky enough that we are still fit enough to push it if we can't use the car. So no motor mover needed or fitted.

What you do know is the MTPLM so if you go to a public weighbridge you will know what it weighs and make a note of what it contains. That will be a useful starting point.

As a guide, this is the allowance from my Bailey manual for a 2015 caravan. The standard was from 2011. Yours will be different,

The Following Items are included in the MRO:
LPG - The mass of the recommended gas storage tank(s) when filled to 100% of the permissible maximum capacity. A mass of 10 kg per
cylinder is assumed and the number of cylinders is equal to the number of connections provided at the regulator.

Fluids - The mass of the liquids normally remaining in the systems:
1. Water heater system –100% of the manufacturer stated travelling capacity

2. Central heating system – 100% of the mass of fluid in the system

3. Freshwater – 100% of the manufacturer stated travelling capacity (you must travel with all water tanks empty)

4. Waste water holding tank – empty

5. Toilet system flushing tank – 100% of the manufacturer stated travelling capacity

6. Toilet system holding tank – empty

7. Essential fluids for the use of any other items of standard or factory fitted optional equipment – 100% of the manufacturer stated travelling capacity

Electricity Supply
1. 4Kg for the low voltage connection cable

Typical masses consist of:
Kettle 0.5Kg Aquaroll (empty) 5Kg
Bed Linen 6Kg Waste bin 1Kg
Crockery 5Kg Toilet Fluid 2.5 Kg
Saucepans 3Kg Cutlery 2 Kg
Wastemaster 6Kg Battery 25 Kg
