The E 725 is fitted with a five-cylinder engine of 2,700 cc. Kerb weight is 3,160 kg against a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, leaving 340 kg of payload. Wheelbase is 4,020 mm and width 2,310 mm; the vehicle rides on four wheels. At a kerb weight of 3,160 kg, the body alone already accounts for around 90 percent of the gross vehicle weight before any passengers or luggage are on board.
With just 340 kg of remaining payload against a 3.5-tonne gross vehicle weight, the E 725 shows how tightly motorhomes in this weight class are calculated once the body, furnishings and water tanks set the kerb weight; accessories and luggage must be weighed accordingly carefully. Class N1 allows the vehicle to be driven on a category B licence.
When buying a motorhome of this age, check for damp in the body at windows, roof hatches and the floor, the condition of the five-cylinder engine and its injection system, corrosion on the chassis frame, and the operation of the gas and electrical systems. The fridge and heater should also be checked for gas-tightness, along with the condition of the body seals around the window frames.
