Hi ,I have found valueable information as regards the weights etc ,, taken from a Volkswagen Manual ,,it suggests an unladen weight of 1495 kgs / with a vehicle capacity weight of 755 kgs ,and a gross vehicle weight of 2250 kgs ,,

The VW Vanagon Westfalia was a van made by Volkswagen. It was a combination of a van and a camper, which included a cooking area and table which converts for sleeping. It was able to seat up to 6 persons.

The Westfalia camper is custom-made at the factory.

The interior must be moved over as well as hols cut into the side of the "new" camper to allow for the hook-ups/fill-ups on the driver side.
