Total length just under 4m

Wheel base is about 2.3m

I'd guess at around 3m but realise you may want something a bit more accurate depending on size of van you're looking at .

Stwdv,
I don't have the chassis dimensions, but can't you just leave the van's back doors open if the chassis is a bit too long? ( Secured, obviously )
I would have thought the width would be more critical. Then again, I suppose the chassis would fit in on it's side......

it fits onto an Audi A4 roof rack......from Malvern to Teesside!!

not that heavy - two old men lifted it on. One old man and an engine hoist lited it off.
