The engine has four cylinders. With a maximum gross weight of 3,500 kg and an unladen weight of 2,900 kg, the payload comes to around 600 kg. Wheelbase is 3.96 m and width 2.22 m. An unladen weight of 2,900 kg on such a short wheelbase is typical of a motorhome with a habitation body, furniture and fittings, and shows that a large share of the permitted gross weight is already taken up by the body itself.
At a maximum gross weight of 3,500 kg, the vehicle falls into EU class N1 and can be driven in most European countries on a category B licence. On motorhomes in this weight class, the payload of around 600 kg has to be budgeted carefully for water, gas, luggage and passengers, since the body's own weight leaves little margin. A tight remaining payload is the norm for this type of vehicle, not a peculiarity of this particular example.
Buying a used motorhome of this size and age means checking above all for moisture in the habitation body, especially around windows, the roof hatch and the join between body and chassis, since water ingress can rot the floor and furniture structure from the inside without being visible from outside. On top of that come the usual chassis checks: brakes, tyre age and corrosion on the frame.
