I'm new to it
I would just like to know the weight of my motorhome unladen and how much weight can i add with equipment ? Also what could the 4.5 /5.5 be (Possibly tyre pressure ? Thankyou in advance.

Maximum vehicle Mass 3500kg
Maximum train weight 5500kg (weight of vehicle + towed weight)
Maximum weight of front axle 1859kg
Maximum weight of rear axle 2060kg

To know what you can actually load into the vehicle you need to get it weighed total and rear axle. This will tell you what you can add.

I guess the 4.5 and 5.5 is the tyre pressures for front and rear.

Max Permitted Mass (Gross weight) 3500 kg
Gross Train Weight 5500 kg
Front Axle 1850 kg
Rear Axle 2060

The 4.5 & 5.5 look like the standard pressure for Michelin Camping tyres.

Unladen weight is never given but your Certificate of Conformity will have the MIRO which includes driver at 75kg, 20Lt of water, 90% fuel & 1 x 11kg aluminium gas bottle. Then you need to add and dealer, factory & self fitted extras.

Doesn't really matter what the unladen weight is as the only one of interest is the MPM which you can't go over.

As I cannot see the words before the weight I would guess it’s
Gross weight
Train weight
Front axel
Rear axel
Assuming you’re not a tag axel

Thankyou so much. We have not had it long and we set off tomorrow for Spain. I did not want to be overweight (The motorhome that is, its too late for me !)

Maybe a bit late but at some point get on a weighbridge to check where you stand. In UK may get a fine in post plus summons if really bad.
In France / Spain it's an on the spot fine. €90 seems an average. Plus you may have to reduce the weight before you carry on.
Safe travels.
