Found this label after looking through the cupboards.
So if I understand this right, and I take off the weight of what they call the fresh water, which is the hot water tank and the fresh water tank I come up with 879Kg/1933.8Lbs for what I can put in as far as personal effects/cargo.
Am I close?
Plus if I take off these figures I should come up with my dry weight.
Which would be 3657Kg/8046lbs?
I think it means they have already taken off the weight of the full freshwater & hot water tanks and you are left with 1054 kg to load with people, effects, stuff, and s--t. They are warning you that if you travel with full fresh/hot water AND grey/black waste full, you lose 378 kg more (wow, heavy s--t!) and you will have to leave some of your family at the campsite because your allowance is now only 676 kg for everyone and everything not part of the unit. The moral seems to be: empty your waste before taking on more fresh water (makes sense)and never tow your s--t around (especially in the rocky mountains).
For the "dry weight" of your trailer you need to find the GVWR (another sticker?) and deduct from that the 1054 kg load allowance and the 175 kg fresh/hot water allowance (your truely empty load allowance is in fact 1229 kg) and the resulting number should be the trailer weight with absolutely no water, people, stuff or waste in it...however, this number may be wrong if you had options and extras added at the factory or dealer...it always gets back to finding a scale doesn't it?
Just saw your earlier posting that your GVWR is 4128 kg; therefore, the unit's dry weight s/be: 4128-1229=2899 kg.
Caveat: I am a new RVer but I used to crunch numbers for a living; therefore, I'm strong on the math but real weak on the principles like even where to find a scale...I'll be interested to see if Frank agrees with my calculations.
