17' Series looking at buying a 17.56-2 OB

[random dude]

Hi Chris,

Next time you are poking around your van, can you check the listed tare weight, and laden weight and post the info here? I am interested in comparing the different suspension configurations and note you have the simplicity suspension.

From the jayco website current model 17.56-02 outback tare weight is 2145kg with 475kg "carrying load" giving max laden weight of 2620kg.

If someone with this van that sits on regular leaf spring suspension can also post that would be really helpfull. Please include year of manufacture for comparison.

Cheers

6 Leaf Spring 7/2012 Model

475kg load which has been the Jayco standard on compliance plates for all tandem vans with a shower for yonks.

03/2014 17.56-2 OB
2014 body built on a 2013 chassis with 6 leaf springs
Tare 1958
ATM 2433

If we went the 2014 chassis with the Jtech suspension we would have had to upgrade the Prado as well!!
