There are usually 2 pressed steel labels under the bonnet.
A: the original vehicle weight and
B: the upgraded weight.
These labels are usually rivetted next to each other.
If your vehicle has not been upgraded and the original label is the only label then take it up with DVLA.
Mind you if you are a revenue weight of 3850Kg you will pay a lower Car Tax BUT you should ensure you have either C1 on your driving licence or passed your test before 1st January 1997.
A lot to check out but you don't want to be in a situation where you have been upgraded and then cannot drive the vehicle because you haven't got the correct class.
Another point to remember is breakdown details as if you are over 3500 you are not covered with personal aa or RAC but they don't tell u until you need help then just dump u in side of road regards Garry flatpackchicken

our swift 630l weight plate positioned at the bonnet catch states 3500kg.
but the new plate 3850kg is positioned on the passenger side door pillar. notified RAC about change of length and weight and they asked if i was a member of caravan club , i answered yes and they told me i was still covered on full recovery.
seems caravan club membership is the ticket to still have full recovery, but i have not had to use the recovery so cant say whether what they said, they will honour.

That was going to be my next question ' are there advatages or disadvantages between the various weights'
How will the AA or RAC man know? Maybe i just point to the 3500 label in the MH :Blush:
