that weight thingy again (1 Viewer)

[mentaliss]

Well here we are in sunny southern Spain sitting on our 'deck' chairs looking around at this quite busy site.
P and I are starting to wonder if the other camp site travellers actually know what the weight of their vehicles are when you consider what they have set up around their vehicle's ie: privacy room's, chairs, table, windbreaker's, floor mats, camping kitchens, water barrels, tripod Sat' dishes and so on, I say this as we always weigh our vehicle (loaded) and too our horror for the first time in less than three years and four motorhomes later we are about hundred kilogrammes over our limit so you guys do you know what you weight is

We went to a weigh bridge last week, fully loaded and were fine, in fact we were 260+ under weight, so more cake for me:thumb:

you can apply to DVLA yourself and sort the paperwork...oh and jump through ever increasing hoops. much the same as you can represent yourself in a court. but neither is as straightforward as you might expect

using a professional engineering firm to represent you is like choosing a good lawyer. you pay the price and its all taken care of for you.

DVLA prefer to deal with professionals as it saves them doing more work dealing with and potentially advising an amateur. with the professional engineer they have done this countless times and know the way to solve problems. its this invaluable experience you are employing to save a lot of hassle. you also get a written confirmation from the likes of SVtech to prove you have uprated (or downrated) the vehicles payload correctly. keep a copy of this in the van in case you ever get stopped and weighed by VOSA and the police

We did ours with vtech and went to local dvla with all forms 15 minutes done I suppose I could have done it myself but I dont think it would have been so easy

probably a 3850kg chassis uprate and somebody has removed the uprated plate to make it appear 3500kg for licence purposes.
The uprated plate will always be separate from the factory plate.
