Hi.
I thought I had a basic grasp of the weight limits etc ,but now I'm not too sure.
My camper went for test last week
I normally don't look at the pass sheet but when I looked at it it had 3200kg on it. I asked in the cvrt test reception, what did it mean or was it that they had weighed it during the test.
They said they didn't know!
So the pass cert arrived yesterday and the 3200 is in the disc and the cert.
Rang the cvrt section of the rsa and asked them why was the 3200 on the disc.
They said they don't know either!
I then checked the dethleffs manufacturer plate in the camper and the plate says 3400.
In a nutshell I thought regarding campers there are two weight bands, up to 3.
5 tonnes and over 3.5 tonnes.so once I was under 3.5 tonnes laden,I was ok.
Now I'm not so sure?

The logbook has 0 kg for the weight.

1.
The Dethleffs 3400kg is the legal GVW of the vehicle
2.
The RSA 3200kg is simply wrong and has no legal basis
3.
The EU Vehicle Category on the Cert of Registration is wrong, a motor caravan is an EU Vehicle Category M1 passenger vehicle. N1 is the category for a goods vehicle.
4. The GVW weigh listed on the Dethleffs plate should be recorded on the Reg Cert

Best of luck getting that mess sorted.

I'm guessing your van is pre 2010, they put anything on the reg cert then , send the cert into Shannon giving them the details that need changing and why, weight,M 1, Axel's etc , they changed mine no problem a few years ago
