Our motorhome, unladen, is close to but under 3500 kg, allowing for the driver and the water and petrol tank. With the extra passenger but an empty water tank, it is still roughly the same -have to be careful in case my wife reads this!! Some days, if we
don't take the bikes and the heavy Thule awning, we are under and at other times, I imagine that we will be over 3500kgs. I know this all sounds a bit OTT but does anyone owning a van of similar unladen weight think about this or just feel that it is so unlikley
that anyone would ever check on this. so don't bother. On the continent, vans of 3500 kgs are subject to a speed restriction. and I think that similar rules operate here?? Might there be insurance implications, however unlikely. Be interested to have other's
advice, so thanks in anticipation
