Rough estimate of van weight

Post by jimpainter »

Ok, just wondering if anyone has an idea of the weight of a stripped out van with no doors/tailgate/slider or windows. Basically a rolling shell with engine and box 1.9d. I have the use of a car trailer this week and trying to figure out if my car will legally pull my van although I think it may be too heavy still.

Cheers
Jim

A van is 1465kg with driver according to my vw manual so take off a person thats a bit under 1400, doors and windows at a guess 200kg, thats 1200kg at a guess
