Figures are manufacturer-stated values for the nominated layout and may vary with options fitted. Off-grid estimates are indicative only. Estimates are based on modelled assumptions and vary with weather, load, equipment condition and usage habits. Specifications are published 2026 model year figures and vary by layout; confirm your layout's full weights, including ATM, with your dealer and the vehicle's compliance plate, and confirm loaded weights at a licensed weighbridge before towing. Sleeping capacity varies by layout. Your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.

Fully loaded, it weighsThe van at its heaviest, fully loaded. This is the weight your car has to tow. Caravan people call it the ATM.
On the tow barHow hard the van pushes down on the car's tow bar (ball weight). It climbs as you load; aim for about 10% of the loaded weight.

358 kg
The van's weighed fully loaded at 3,580 kg.
On the weighbridge
Car + van, loadedYour car plus the fully-loaded van, on the weighbridge together. Assumes ~400 kg of people and gear in the car (before heavy accessories), models the ball at ~10% of loaded weight, and uses indicative vehicle weights. Weigh the loaded rig to be certain.
Ball weight now rides on the car · ~400 kg assumed in the car · indicative. Weigh the loaded rig to be sure.
Fine to tow, but watch the car. Loaded it sits near its own 3,450 kg limit.
Tow ✓ · Tow ball ✓ · Car ⚠ · Combined ✓
Indicative estimates only: figures are modelled, not measured, and vary with weather, load, equipment condition and usage habits. ATM shown is derived from published tare plus payload, not a published figure. Option weights and prices are examples; confirm current options and pricing with your dealer, and confirm loaded weights at a licensed weighbridge before towing. Tow-vehicle figures (braked capacity and tow-ball rating) are typical published values that vary by build, year and accessories; confirm your vehicle’s compliance plate and check its GVM and GCM, not tow capacity alone. The combined car-plus-van figures assume roughly 400 kg of people and gear in the car (before heavy accessories), model the tow-ball download at about 10% of the loaded weight, and use indicative vehicle weights; your build, accessories and load will differ. Your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
