I am thinking of Increasing my MH weight limit to enable me to carry a scooter and I was wondering what the ramifications are? I'm currently 3.5 Ton and well below the 70 year age limit. I would like to be able to leave my MH for day outings as it is 6.95m so I feel getting a scooter will be better than trying to fit into spaces in towns.
Will it cost more to insure, Road tax, tolls etc. I travel extensively in Europe.
I don't want to tow but do not have sufficient payload currently and I am a single driver.
If you are able to assist in my decision making I would be very grateful, thank you.

Hi
I upped my last van from 3.5 to 3.7 I used SV Tech in Leyland it's just a paper exersise. Reduction in Tax has it is then PHG . you need to inform Ins mine didn't charge extra tolls shouldn't be any different. If you increase extra tyres and suspension come into the picture. Pete

Living the dream.
Ours was uprated to 3800 before we bought her and had air suspension fitted.
