Hiya guys
Just a quick question regarding having the MH weighed before leaving UK. Is it a legal requirement to do so or is it even necessary or recommended by those of you with the experienceI I lack. I have read that having the MH weighed would provide advice if I need to transfer weight either forwards or backwards to "balance" the load etc. Also that I would have a certificate which can be produced if stopped by local authorites/police to show that I am not overloaded (how would a previously issued certificate help, as I could have loaded up with another 500kg or more of extra weight after the MH was weighed and certified -especially as I am thinking of taking along some bottled real ales to keep me going)
Any advice appreciated as we are getting close to our sailing on the 28th, so if it is legally required I dont have much time to arrange this. Thanks in advance
