What else do you have in it? So when you add some food and clothes you
are operating an overweight vehicle or that scale is wrong. The 3670 is
about right. The Syncro Westy empty weighs ~3950.

I ran my '90 Westy over the scales two weeks ago: 5000lbs on the money,
with me in it (200lbs) plus added weight of Volkscafe Big Bumpers, about
another 100lbs, empty water tank, and the 'usual stuff'.  Thats a whole
bunch over the 3670 quoted above.  BTW, door sticker gives max weight of
5200.
