First serious post!
Our new Hobby is plated at 3500kg – to replate to 3850kg would cost us £200 at the dealer and I can see advantages (current payload is just under 300kg) but am not sure whether there are disadvantages. We both have the licences and are well under 70 so there’s no issue there. There’s only the two of us (plus the dog) and we’re not intending carrying a Motorbike or Scooter. However, we do intend to add a Satellite Dome and Roof Mounted Air Con, Gaslow etc so we may get close to our limit.
Obviously we move tax brackets (and I understand it’s actually cheaper at the moment) but what else may cause us some thought?
We plan both UK and Europe touring if that makes a difference
Would appreciate any comments
