Used Aliner
The weights, dimensions and build facts Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes publishes for this range.
Weights
1,080kg ATM minus 880kg tare leaves 200kg for everything you put in it. Fill the 63 litre tank and 63kg of that is already spent, because a litre of water weighs a kilogram.
These are the figures for a new one at base spec.
A used van carries whatever the last owner bolted to it, and the plate on the drawbar governs, not the brochure.
Weigh it loaded at a public weighbridge before you tow it any distance.

Common questions
What does an Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner weigh?▼
Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes publishes a tare of 880kg and an ATM of 1,080kg for the Aliner. Tare is the van empty as it left the factory; ATM is the most it is allowed to weigh loaded and unhitched. The compliance plate on the van you are looking at is the figure that counts, and on a used van it can differ from the brochure once a previous owner has added to it.
How much payload does an Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner have?▼
1,080kg ATM minus 880kg tare leaves 200kg. That allowance covers water, gas, food, bedding, tools and every accessory fitted since the van was built. Filling the 63 litre fresh water tank spends 63kg of it, because a litre of water weighs a kilogram.
What is the tow ball weight of an Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner?▼
Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes publishes 70kg. That weight presses down on the towbar. The car carries it, so it counts against the car's payload and has to sit under both the car's tow ball limit and the towbar's own rating. Weigh the loaded van before a long trip, because where you pack heavy gear moves this figure.
What should I check on a used Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Aliner?▼
Start with the facts this range was built to: 63 litres of fresh water, three-way fridge, 4.85m on the road, 1.65m high. Then read the compliance plate on the drawbar against the weights above, and take the van over a public weighbridge loaded the way you plan to travel.
