Folks ..Would really appreciate some advice on my M/H weights in log book
. On log book the motorhome rated Private light goods , with 2880 kg against revenue weight . Ive sorta assumed 2880 was base vehicle then you add all extras and be at or under 3500 kg?
The motorhome manufacturers plate states 3850KG- max permissible
Max gross weight with trailer 5490KG
Front axle permissable 1850KG
Rear axle permissable 2120KG
I’ve been advised that it should be recorded as PHGV as it’s rated Gross permissible Vehicle Weight is apparently over 3500 Kg (ie 3850kg). Before I investigate the logistics involved in getting DVLA to change their records .I was told by the dealer i purchased from the gross loaded up fuel wine, wife and dogs et al should not exceed 3500kg.
Just wanted to check that to your knowledge if i should advise DVLA max weight 3850??
or Find out if it has been down rated to 3500 kg which would explain it being a PLG on the V5C.????
if it had been downrated would there be a third plate on it somewhere saying max weight 3500kg??.???
OR is all in order on the log book ??
Thanks for any info...
