Looks nice. Do you need to stay under 7.5t? if so, what payload does it have?

Rent your house and try the full timing first, you may not like it and then you can move back in if it does not work out.

Seconded...............and from very hard earned experience!
Yes as don't have a HGV licence. Good point I don't know what the payload is maybe someone on here will know.

Yes they have tried Full timing, but not selling up. Its different and puts a completely different spin on it.

With a full slide I imagine there won't be much spare, (legally spare that is, I imagine in reality there will be lots) The reason for that is that many of these vehicles have the max weight 'downgraded' to get into 'Car License" territory. You can get them uprated which will increase the payload but you'll need a test.
Please note I am talking 'generally' here, your van may have a ton of payload spare, but I'd fill it with water and fuel and get it weighed to find out how much you do have.![]()
I hope it all works out for you. I always err on the side of caution, Best of luckFor a long time we was long term, and just going home to make it looked lived in. then 15 months ago it sold,we would have been a lot better off had we sold it a couple of years earlier, we have no regrets and sometimes look at property for sale with the intention of renting it out, but with the amount of empty houses for sale and loads of property for rent maybe not !
I don't know about an RV, looked at them and 5th wheelers and the space is good, but convenience and fuel consumption out weighs space for us.
So its a caravan in Spain for winter, and our panel van for travelling.

Your right it has been downgraded. I did look at the plate and can see it was originally 9 Tonne.
From my experience with our 3.5 Tonne MH I would imagine the majority of owners travel well over weight as seems all the manufacturers seem to go for the lowest plating weight they can so make it accessible to the largest market possible and the dealers are not keen to help or advise probably knowing they have naff all load weight.

It might be a good idea to go on RVOC and ask the question, when we looked at the it seemed the petrol ones weighed less than diesel but then you add LPG tanks and it might weigh more, but good luck with it, and I will follow your blog and see how you get on.Bob.
