TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Essential Habitation Equipment
The Essential Habitation Equipment is
defined as the items of fluids required for the
safe and proper functioning of habitation
equipment. This means the mass of a full
tank of LPG and the water in the toilet system
flush tank.
This must be subtracted from the User
Payload.
Auto-Sleepers include the low voltage (230V)
connection cable and the habitation battery in
the mass in running order.
Options, Personal Effects and
Accessories
When options, personal effects and
accessories are fitted or carried the mass
must be subtracted from the user payload. All
optional equipment whether on the base
vehicle or part of the conversion is excluded
from the mass in running order. Personal
effects are any items of any description
carried by the vehicle.
To determine accurately if a vehicle is
exceeding one of its maximum technically
permissible laden masses, the vehicle with all
of its load (that is passengers, contents,
luggage and external load) should be
weighed on a weighbridge.
Gross Train Mass (GTM)
If you are towing a trailer with your Auto-
Sleeper, the Gross Train Weight is the
maximum allowable weight of the towing
vehicle, the trailer and the mass of every item
carried. The figure is shown on the Vehicle
Masses data chart on the next page. Please
check your driving licence to ensure you are
allowed to drive a vehicle combination at this
weight.
Maximum Braked Trailer Mass (MBTM)
This is the maximum allowable weight of the
trailer together with its load, provided the
trailer has a braking system, which complies
with European trailer braking legislation. The
figure is shown on the Vehicle Masses data
chart on the next page
MTPLM of the Axles
The individual axles also have MTPLM’s. The
sum of the two axle MTPLM’s usually
exceeds the overall vehicle MTPLM, but this
does not mean you can load each axle to its
maximum, because doing so would exceed
the overall MTPLM of the whole vehicle.
