At this point , you may be wondering what a sizeable rig such as this weighs . Our Escape Series tipped the scales at 2650kg Tare while the ATM was 3277kg . This gave the van a healthy payload capacity of 627kg . While the van towed beautifully behind my MU-X , it ’ s worth pointing out that my vehicle is limited to towing 3000kg , but the van wasn ’ t fully laden and we were legal . However , to make full use of this van ’ s payload allowance , you ’ d be looking at one of the many 3500kg-rated tow vehicles and because the van is a couple hundred kilos lower than 3500kg ATM , you shouldn ’ t run into many GCM issues – but always do your sums .
SUMMING UP
The 21ft 6in Tango Escape Series towed well , it has a generous list of equipment and an excellent layout that should cover the needs of the entire family . While there is scope to up-spec the van later on down the track , perhaps with some lithium batteries and additional solar , it comes from the factory with each base covered .
