I get shocked at the size and weight of some vans. Even if they're legal, I don't see how they can be safe.

I saw one on the Ipswich motorway around 6 months ago.

From a distance i thought it was some kind of military thing.

It was being towed by a ...........wait for it......................D4

Andy ours was certified and weigh bridge ticketed on the day of handover at 2520kg tare. 215kg ball weight. How anyone can be happy with 350kg on the ball is beyond me. All our water tanks are behind the rearmost wheels and with full gas bottles and clothing, food (NO BDSM gear Tombie&#128523 and 200l water we are around 2.9 to 3t. I have the 3700kg upgrade cruisemaster ind suspension and LT tyres and the stability behind the rangie is fantastic.

What make/size is it Justin???

Was custom made for us by JB caravans in Victoria 3 years ago. 21'6" dirt roader. I actually had the full offroad chassis as a base, and a galv floor sheet put down before the construction to ensure no moisture ingress. 360W of Solar panels, 3 100Ah batteries and european quality electronics/ controllers. 1800W inverter/ smart charger, 225l waeco compressor fridge freezer, DO35 hitch etc etc. ( don't listen to that idiot in that article you linked to on the Avida van, the DO35 is one of the easiest offroad hitches I've ever used!!) We plan on living in it one day so had to be self sufficient. I'll have to msg you some pics as i can't seem to get them off my ph to the computer etc clearly.

Are you on FB messenger?

Thanks Justin.
I want one that's a live in too.It doesn't need to be full on off-road,just capable of being towed down rough roads.
Wouldn't mind ending up semi retired getting grader steerer jobs as I looked around Awestralia.
