Used Ray Pop Top
The weights, dimensions and build facts Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes publishes for this range.
Weights
1,700kg ATM minus 1,400kg tare leaves 300kg for everything you put in it.
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 Ray Pop Top weigh?▼
Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes publishes a tare of 1,400kg and an ATM of 1,700kg for the Ray Pop Top. 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 Ray Pop Top have?▼
1,700kg ATM minus 1,400kg tare leaves 300kg. That allowance covers water, gas, food, bedding, tools and every accessory fitted since the van was built.
What is the tow ball weight of an Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes Ray Pop Top?▼
Avan Campers Caravans & Motorhomes publishes 125kg. 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 Ray Pop Top?▼
Start with the facts this range was built to: 95ah battery as built, three-way fridge, 5.98m on the road, 2.265m 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.
