Further to my rant yesterday, the caravan in question is a Dethleffs Camper 470 and the weight info is posted on their website, www.dethleffs.co.uk/ This states that the MIRO weight of 1145kg quoted is according to 'EU-Norm DIN EN 1642-2'
(I suppose this must mean something to somebody).
At the end of the day however, if the maunufacturer states a MIRO weight, then surely the caravan should weigh that figure (ish). The alternative is to take every caravan to be weighed before purchase.
Could have interesting Insurance/Police implications also!
