Used Adventurer 48V
The weights, dimensions and build facts Jayco Australia publishes for this range.
Weights
3,221kg ATM minus 2,593kg tare leaves 628kg for everything you put in it. Fill the 190 litre tank and 190kg 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.
What to check on this one
- Fibreglass bodyStand at one corner and sight down each side in raked light. Stress cracks show up around window corners before they show up anywhere else.
- 190 litres of fresh waterRun the pump until it settles, then get under the van with a torch and check the tank straps and the fittings above them for drips.
- 1,300W of solar as builtCount the panels on the roof against that figure, then check the sealant around every mounting foot and cable gland.
- Compressor fridgeRun it for an hour off the van's own battery and check it is still holding temperature at the end of it.
- 7.86m on the roadMeasure your driveway, your gate and the storage bay before you commit, and check the length against the sites you usually book.
- 3.05m highCheck it against your carport and against the awnings and low bridges on the roads you tow.

Common questions
What does a Jayco Australia Adventurer 48V weigh?▼
Jayco Australia publishes a tare of 2,593kg and an ATM of 3,221kg for the Adventurer 48V. 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 a Jayco Australia Adventurer 48V have?▼
3,221kg ATM minus 2,593kg tare leaves 628kg. That allowance covers water, gas, food, bedding, tools and every accessory fitted since the van was built. Filling the 190 litre fresh water tank spends 190kg of it, because a litre of water weighs a kilogram.
What is the tow ball weight of a Jayco Australia Adventurer 48V?▼
Jayco Australia publishes 228kg. 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 Jayco Australia Adventurer 48V?▼
Start with the facts this range was built to: fibreglass body, 190 litres of fresh water, 1,300w of solar as built, compressor fridge. 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.
