Hello chaps,
Does anyone have an idea, how much a bare LWB chassis weighs ... I image something like 60kgs ?
thanks

As I remember, two of us could lift it easily, so maybe a hundredweight or less.

I had to look it up haa haa haa
112 lbs.
In the Great Britain, 1 hundredweight count (CWT) is equal to 112 lbs., or 50.8 kilograms.
So on the roof rack it is then :-)
many thanks

I have one here that I can lift easily on my own. If I had a means of weighing it I'd do that and give you an accurate figure.

If one person can lift it easily, then it's maybe 5 Stones.

I thought that’s what bathroom scales are for.

That's the one, Andy. Still here. Bought it to build the Ulster but then found a better one with a V5 and used that. Can't quite remember how I got the Prescott one home. Think I might have strapped it to the Bike Rack on the back of the motorhome
