Hi All, we are considering changing our rv to a European/English tag axle. So far 2 makes in mind, Autotrail (different tag axle models) & the Swift Kontiki. Both i believe are built on the same alko chassis. The autotrail states a towing weight of 1000kg & the Swift states 1500kg but both state a maximum train weight of 6000kg. So my question is; can the towing weight of the Autotrail be increased by reducing the payload but still keeping under the max train weight or is the towing weight of the vehicle governed by the towbar manufaturer? Any advice/experience would be welcomed
