- Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
Ralph has been to the weigh bridge today to check the weight of the van.
He had a full tank of fuel, 2 full gas bottles , generator and everything on board needed , except me and the kids .
The weights were,
Front 1680
Rear 1940
giving the total of 3620
He noticed that under the bonnet there was a plaque fitted saying,
This vehicle has been fitted with camping car package 057 , with a new gross vehicle weight of 3850KG
(It was originally plated at 3500KG)
Once me, kids, and the dogs are added into the equasion we are very close to the 3850KG
Theres a few things in , that can come out that we never use.
Heres the question,
We already have camping car suspension and tyres on the MH . Does this mean that our motorhome has already had the weight upgrade thing done, which everyone was on about last week. Or would it be able to be taken higher up to the 4.1 ton level. ??
( 2006 Fiat Ducato )
We are considering having a tow bar fitted , if not , as we already have a Big Erde trailer.
We will also have to use that if we want to take the bikes , it seems now.
Although when we went to the IOW in May we had 2 bikes in the garage and 3 on the back and loads more gear ,dog trailer , food , clothes etc in the MH .
Totally oblivious to the fact that we must have been overweight.
You couldnt tell driving at all.:Blush:
We dont use the MH abroad , BTW.
Thanks ,
Bev
