Buyer Beware! This is an ongoing problem in the industry. Remaining cargo carrying capacity should be required to be posted and divulged to potential buyers. I saw a video last year where a couple of new B class vans were actually over weight with full tanks before a passenger sat in them.
In theory, OCCC should solve this, but I would almost bet that if I took a PM based rig, with all three tanks full, two people, and it full of the usual RV goods... a CAT scale will show it to be overweight by a good margin.
Not that a PM is a bad chassis... but Europeans and US customers expect different things, and a generator and A/C can add 500 pounds onto a rig, so something that is OK on a rear wheel drive (or four wheel drive) Ducato overseas may be tipping the scales here on this side of the pond after the US niceties are added (black water tank as well.)
