Max weight reduction

[Davespenny]

Does anyone know the process for reducing max motorhome weight with DVLA? I had mine upped to 3.7 ton from 3.5 ton and want to take it back to 3.5 ton. I still have the original label if that would help.

I understand that you just write to them saying you are downplating to 3.5t and ask for V5C to be re-issued accordingly.

I think you will have to obtain a weigh bridge ticket showing that you can meet the 3500kg limit.. Certainly that's what was needed when someone I knew used sv tec to downplate ..

I believe that you have to produce a Weighbridge ticket showing a weight of less than 3200 kg to down plate to 3500 kg.

Well you have had 3 different opinions, so now phone DVLA and ask them what they need. Simples.

Perhaps if your Certificate of Conformity shows an unladen weight of under 3200kg they will accept that? I would be interested to hear what the DVLA says.

Some owners do not have those 'newfangled things' - think they only started about 2005/06
