Don't know, I just got a brief phone call from Steve who said that from the paperwork he could do 3,900. That is fine by me.
What base vehicle have you got, ie what length and chassis type, either light or heavy?

It's a Globecar Campscout which is 6.36m long, I think it is a heavy chassis , but not sure.

There's something not quite right about what SVTech are telling you IMV - if it is a standard Globecar Campscout then I believe they are all built on the Heavy Maxi XL chassis and can go up to 4500kg without modification, we chose 4250kg for ours as that was sufficient, but I can't understand why SVTech are stating 3900kg for yours ... have the tyres been changed and ones with a lower weight carrying capacity fitted? Something isn't right otherwise.

The back tyres are the original and the front ones a few weeks old. The guy at ATS said he was getting slightly better rated see photos.

Definitely something funny with the SVTech weight then ... should be min of 4250kg IMV.
