I have seen various threads re uprating a van and remain confused as to possible consequences for driving licence, driving abroad (local regs?), and age.
Specifically, at the moment I am looking at a Hymer B584 ('06) which has been downplated from 3900kg to 3500kg. I would want to take it back to the original 3900kg and assume that would be no problem.
I am 63 and my licence goes back to 1972 when entitlement to drive virtually anything was handed out no questions asked. I think I am ok until 70 when over 3500kg I would need a medical. Are there any downsides/pitfalls otherwise?
