So today i finally got around to taking our new MH which is a Bessacarr E560 to the weighbridge now that i have mostly installed our additional 2 batteries and our refillable Gas it bottle , and now i think i need a whisky or two.
i have tried to list what items would be putting on weight from the vehicle that came out of the factory.
Ok here goes
Me the driver 60kg
Full tank of fuel about £75 money wise not sure on weight
90ltr water tank 1/3 full so say 30 ltrs
waste tank about 1/4 full say 20 ltrs
Spare wheel and Tyre , no idea but yes HEAVY.
Fiamma Bike carrier ( EMPTY )
18kg Gas it cylinder ( EMPTY ) so it weighs 21kg
2 extra Leisure batteries @24kg each = 48kg
B2B charger & cables 15kg max
19" TV say about 6kg
NO Solar PANELS on roof
Items in the MH garage
2 x Milenco ramps @4.2kg each = 8.4kg
2 x milenco mats @0.8kg each = 1.6kg
2 x Lay flat water hoses @2.5kg each = 5kg
Silver window covering 3.2kg
Well when i went to the weighbridge i was unable to see the weight , but the lady in the P&O booth told be its just around 4 ton sir.
WTF 4 ton
Surely this could not be right , even if i was to remove EVERYTHING above including petrol , me the driver etc , it would be way over the 3500kg.
I recon i need to get it re weighed at a different place ?? as that just sounds crazy
or could them figures add up ?
Worst about it is i just renewed my 10 year old driving licence here in N.ireland as the start of the year and i remember something about a licence class ( it could be C1 ) and did i want to keep it when changing to the new type licence , but i opted out ........ DOHHHHH!!!!! , if that was in fact the c1 that i opted out of and i will now have to go for a test to get said licence,,,, time to buy a hanging rope!!
