yes just !!. but be carefull if the van itself is loaded because some dont have a very big train weight ( thats every thing together van + load+ trailer) If its a 260 /280 then they are only 3500kg total train weight and the empty van is 1800kg,.. the bigger 300/350s are not much heavier but have more capacity about 5000 kgs train weight..
hope that helps...
