Currently have a self build Boxer L4H2 which I am looking at up plating with SV Tech, pretty much a paper exercise to give me a bit more loading capacity for those longer trips through Europe.

Would like to learn of any experiences you may have encountered with an MH >3500kg and anything i need to be aware of such as, does it effect ferry crossings, speed limits in Europe, any breakdown companies that would cover such vehicles.

I can up plate to either 3900 or 4500, and wasn't sure if there were any further restrictions for going over 4T

Appreciate any advise you may be able to offer

Many thanks

    I'll watch with interest as I'm in the process of uprating to 3.85T. As the van already had rear air suspension it is just a "paper exercise" and I have wondered (too late now) if it was something I could have done myself and saved a bit of money.
