Is that the only plate you have? Check there isnt another one with a lower train weight on it. Most Motorhomes I have had had a base vehicle eg Fiat plate and then the Converters plate which has a lower train weight.

2 Questions,
I always thought the total axle weights should add up to the GVW. perhaps I'm wrong.
2 Questions,
1. What weight is shown on your V5C,?
2. The 2 Axle weights, (1) 1850Kg & (2) 2000Kg add up to 3850Kg, but the GVW is shown as 3500Kg, is this correct?

Thats better..
So if you load your van up to it's max of 3500, you can legally tow up to 1120kg.
However if your van, fully loaded with everything inc passengers, was only 3400kg, my understanding is that you can tow 1220kg.. The whole rig needs to remain within that max second "train weight".
still confused,,,:Sad: still dont know if i can tow my car on the trailer.....:Sad:

This is part of the certificate of conformity of my MH.
Look at the part that says :
Technically permissible maximum towable mass in case of :
Centre axle trailer : 1000kg
Regardless of what the MH weighs (up to maximum allowed), the maximum allowed to be towed is 1000kg.
If my MH weighs 4000kg or the max of 5000kg I can still only tow 1000kg.
i doubt VOSA would be interested in the cert of conformity....they look at the VIN plate and the central computer records....and that info wont be on there.

A quick search shows the gross weight of your trailer to be 1,300kg..
So technically and legally if you hooked it up, even empty, you break a rule somewhere..
UNLESS your van is no more than 3320kg.....
In reality I think the van, trailer and car should just weigh in at your max train weight...
Apart from that I make no comment..
ps... My 2102 apache has only 1050kg tow capacity and thats clearly stated on the "certificate of conformity" that they now issue.. :Sad:
