Motorhome weight label

[Chris116]

Hi, As a newbe can I just ask for confirmation of the meaning of the different weight limits shown on the Burster label on our TD745 please? I believe it's showing Max Gross weight 3850, Max towing weight 5750, 1 = front axel 1850 & 2 = rear axle 2000. If so my trip to our local weigh bridge gave me a shock 2160 at the rear with only basic ready to go holiday stuff on board, BBQ, table chairs, wind break, ramps etc full fuel 10ltrs water, food, 2 adults + dog

Those all sound like heavy caravan stuff - apart from the dog.

We travel much lighter.

Wow, yes we are ex shed draggers! But I thought camping table & chairs + BBQ, levelling ramp etc would be standard equipment plus we have very little clothing while away (ex camping bikers) so we know how to go without

Thanks for this. Quotes so far are Around £800-900 for basic self inflation kit £1250-1430ish for the VB Comfort kit inc VAT & fitted

So not an Al-Ko chassis so nice and cheap mine was over £2500.

Not knocking any company but for Fiat chassis any hall capable mechanic can do the work needed to install the rear air.
Paper work you can do yourself but I would suggest SVTech, simple but a bit of cost.
Last semi air on fiat was about £300 for kit, think SV was about £250.

You can't to the uprating paperwork yourself as you need confirmation from an authorised company such as SVTech that all is correct, you then submit this to the DVLA to get the uprate and/or axle weights changed (depends what's left to do), you cannot do this yourself.
