Weights

Tare
3,350kg
The van empty, as it left the factory
ATM
4,500kg
The most it may weigh loaded and unhitched
Payload
1,150kg
ATM minus tare: water, gas, food and gear
Tow ball
250kg
Weight pressing down on your car's towbar

4,500kg ATM minus 3,350kg tare leaves 1,150kg for everything you put in it. Fill the 400 litre tank and 400kg 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

  • Composite walls
    Run a hand along every panel join and the full length of the roof edge, and look for sealant that has lifted or split.
  • 400 litres of fresh water
    Run 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.
  • 1,520W of solar as built
    Count the panels on the roof against that figure, then check the sealant around every mounting foot and cable gland.
  • 1,200Ah Lithium battery as built
    A battery is a consumable and this one may not be the original. Ask how old it is and whether it still runs the fridge overnight.
  • 8.8m on the road
    Measure your driveway, your gate and the storage bay before you commit, and check the length against the sites you usually book.
  • 3.1m high
    Check it against your carport and against the awnings and low bridges on the roads you tow.

Common questions

What does a Zone RV Summit weigh?▼

Zone RV publishes a tare of 3,350kg and an ATM of 4,500kg for the Summit. 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 Zone RV Summit have?▼

4,500kg ATM minus 3,350kg tare leaves 1,150kg. That allowance covers water, gas, food, bedding, tools and every accessory fitted since the van was built. Filling the 400 litre fresh water tank spends 400kg of it, because a litre of water weighs a kilogram.

What is the tow ball weight of a Zone RV Summit?▼

Zone RV publishes 250kg. 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 Zone RV Summit?▼

Start with the facts this range was built to: composite walls, 400 litres of fresh water, 1,520w of solar as built, 1,200ah lithium battery as built. 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.
