Hi Guys picked up my new van this week and well happy, upgraded my weight plate to 1550kgs from 1360kgs, my problem is what actually is included in this mro weight, my dealer told me gas bottles and elec lead, but what about spare wheel it comes with the
van.

    Have you got your figures mixed up, I thought the MTPLM standard was just below 1500kg and in effect you have upgraded about 50/60kg?

    I believe spare wheel comes in with the user payload, unlike since 2011 the gas bottle, electric cable etc.

    Best thing is to weigh the van.  Actually the best think to do is to be sensible and not to worry to much like 99% of owners.  

    Be careful with the mro I have seen recorded a case where the actual mro was less than the declared one.  Also they say a gas cylinder is included in the calculation in Lunars case they allow 8kg which is less than a calorlite.

    190Kgs? Most caravans don't even give you that as an allowance let alone as an upgrade above the allowance.

    Missing word which rather altered what I was trying to say. .
