cant seem to find weight of doka vs panel van anywhere.

any ideas ???

cheers lee.

From the handbook .....

Panel Van
Unladen weight with driver 1540 kgs

Double cab
Unladen weight with driver 1590 kgs

It does not differenciate between petrol or diesel, 14" or 16" but mentions that the permissible pay load must be reduced by 15kgs if its a Turbo Diesel.

It does state very clearly that the Gross Vehicle Weight is 2500 kgs. So all of you who claim to have 3 tonne vans are half a ton overweight. Thats 20% and I know that in Ireland that would mean big trouble if you were caught!

shhhhh don't tell David - reckon his was 3 1/2 tonne when he left the secret hideout the year before last, suprised the boat didn't list

thank you gents. so doka extra 50kg without the canopy. was hoping the doka would have been a little lighter than the van. i guess the drop sides and extra load bay x members all add up.
