Official manufacturer layout specification. Payload is deterministically calculated as ATM minus tare (3000−2325=675 kg). Length is the manufacturer's published overall length. Overall travel height, axle count/rating, coupling and brake system are not published for this layout and are not inferred. Manufacturer states figures are indicative and must be confirmed for the production unit and at a licensed weighbridge.

Match the model year and configuration to your caravan compliance plate. Confirm fitted options and measured travel weights before relying on catalogue figures.

Matching & Towing Considerations

ClearPath Educational Observations
  • This caravan has an ATM of 3000 kg. This is its rated maximum, not its measured travel weight. Check the actual loaded caravan mass against the vehicle and towbar towing limits, and check GVM, GCM, axle and coupling limits separately.
  • Ball weight (towball download) of 235 kg must not exceed your vehicle's towball download limit. This weight also reduces the tow vehicle's available payload.
  • Ensure the combined weight of the vehicle and caravan does not exceed the vehicle's GCM (Gross Combination Mass).
  • Water, gas, cargo and accessories all add to the caravan's loaded weight — the ATM is the maximum, not the typical towing weight.

Things to Verify

ClearPath Educational Observations
  • Compliance plate figures (ATM, GTM and tare) — these are the legally binding numbers for this specific caravan.
  • Actual loaded weight on a certified weighbridge, especially if accessories or modifications have been added.
  • Towball download measurement with the caravan in loaded, ready-to-tow condition.
  • Build year vs model year — specifications can change mid-production.
  • That the variant and configuration match your specific caravan (floor plan, axle count, options).
