Hi thanks for reply. Does that only cover the caravan or both ? Cheers

Hi I have been with the AA for a few years and only used them once. I haven’t told them I’m towing a caravan is that something I should do ? Also can they recover you when you are towing a van or do they leave that on the side of the road ? Cheers

cheers interesting info. My van however says built in Slovenia so assumed it was Adria.

Hi the original owner never had it replated as spoke to him about it. It seems that fleetwood and Adria got there wired crossed imho as the paper work is Adria as it is really an Adria van.

Mine is conflicting. On the plate it says 1190 miro and 1500 mtplm. In the small handbook it says 1090kg and 1300kg. In the larger handbook there is a sticker over the weights and it is 1190kg miro 60kg eie and 1420kg mtplm. I am just assuming that you would go off the vin plate ? I would...

Hi just wondering what this covers. My van is 1190 miro with an allowance of 60kg for EIE and a further 250kg for payload. Just curious and will be taking van to a weighbridge when ian able to tow it. Cheers

Glad I read this as the fleetwood sonata concerto I just bought was purchased in 2008 as I have receipt. However it is a 2009 model which is what is on the handbook and all over the net. I already rang them and said it was 2009 and they changed it but wasn’t sure if I’d done the right thing...

This is getting quite technical lol considering it wasn’t something I really was concerned about. I done 8hrs b+e training and you don’t learn anything regarding nose weight or any other weights on the vehicles. You would think that there would be a couple of questions on the test.

That does make more sense Lutz and I’m not disagreeing it’s just what the DVLA bloke said and I made it clear to him what I was meaning. There should defo be better info on .gov site to clarify the rules. It’s not going to really affect me now anyway as I was going to opt for the galaxy...

Hi that’s exactly what I mean. But the bloke at DVLA said it didn’t matter if the van and car didn’t add up to the gtw they would only go off the plates even if I had a b+e licence. My caravan insurance states that they won’t pay out if the caravan and gar exceed the gtw. If the caravan...

I’ll try lol but sounds like something I would do

I could handle squashing the fridge even denting the van but draw the line at squashing my beer :). We managed to get out heavy awning up in about 30 mins last time but it’s past it’s best.

Hi all. Thanks very much for the info. I think I will get the Reich scales as I have to buy either a set of bathroom ones or a proper one. Many thanks

Hi lutz I understand the the 3.5 +3.5 ton part. I was specifically asking them about the Mam and mtplm weight adding up to more than the gtw. I explained I would not have nonwhere near that weight in the car and van. He said it makes no difference and the woukd just add the Mam and mptlm...

Hi Lutz I specifically asked him about B+E as I had already explained to him I was sitting the test. I’m not sure if the DVLA actually know what they are on about. I should of asked for an email with it on.
