Hi does anyone know the Kerbweight for a 1987 ABI ACE Diplomat. the gross weight is 800KG.

Kerbweight is specific to each individual caravan (and car), so any figure that you get will be only a rough guideline. The only sure way of establishing the kerbweight accurately is to actually weight it.

Hello Ben,

As Lutz points out the manufactureres statement of kerbweight for any caravan (or car for that matter car,)is rarely accurate, unless you weigh it.

I am not sure what value there is in knowing the K.W. of a caravan, the important figure is the weight when loaded.

The principle of weighing each individual item you put in the caravan and then adding them up is fraught with inaccuracies. whilst it will give you a ball park figure, only weighing the fully loaded caravan will give you a reliable result.
