Van are quoted in MRO - Mass in running order - The total weight of the van when it leaves the facotry
MTPLM Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass which is the total weight the axles will support,
The difference is your payload, - stuff you can put in or add to the van,
The basecamp is
MTPLM 1027kg
MRO 916kg
Total User Payload 111kg
Out of that comes the leisure battery . - say 20kg, motor mover if you fit one ( i would) 25kg
leaves you 66kg for "stuff" . As bromp says, to save yourself a trip to the public weigh-bridge every time out, you spreadsheet it all.
