MRO question

[CrewOVtwo]

My MTPLM is 1490 and MRO 1335 (Bailey Unicorn Cadiz).
Rather than make the trip to a weighbridge I'm going to attempt to weigh pretty much everything I put in the caravan.
My search button for the forum isn't working, so can someone tell me if I need to weigh cushions/ microwave/ bed mattress or are those included in the MTPLM?
I have a sneaky feeling we will be well within limits but I'd like to check, with some longer trips coming up.
Once again, thanks in advance 👍

Items that came with the caravan from the makers are in MRO. Things like its step, EHU cable, document pack, external water pump, and one gas cylinder are normal in MRO. Carpets, mattresses are obviously in MRO not MTPLM. Microwave if part of the caravan as supplied by the maker is in MRO. Often your handbook specifies what’s in MRO. Battery is not normally in MRO. But I believe there may be exceptions for large caravan with powered levelling systems.

Thanks. Glad you mentioned battery as that's hidden away in a slot in the floor and I would have forgotten about that - and it is very heavy 😲
Maybe I've not got as much to spare as I thought 🤔

Do NOT rely on the manufacturers quoted MRO
The ONLY way to be certain of your actual, rather than theoretical, weight is to use a weighbridge, be that when its completely empty, or when fully kitted up for your holiday. Anything else will be guesswork.

I think unfortunately your logic is flawed right from assuming the MRO is any plated or quoted figure.
Quite some direct experience, albeit not with Bailey is that the actual MRO can be different to the stated figure, and sadly IME always the wrong way. The makers have tolerances, some even plus as well as minus.
I really feel you ought to accept that in your running state, you get it weighed.

Edit: I see Mr Plodd was there before me and he almost certainly would have knowledge of a lot more actual cases than I have.

Weighbridge it is then. Thanks again 👍 👍
