Running weights

When we bought our new motorhome in June we were told the maximum payload of 390 kgs did not include 2 passengers nor 80% fuel load. Is this true? Can I exceed the MTPLM of 3500 kgs if I am carrying 2 people? In other words is the 3500 kgs limit measured with or without passengers and minimum fuel?

The 53kg illustrated by Ford Commercial is the full weight of the gearbox which is approx. 15kg heaver than the manual which 38ish kg.

It's certainly a very confusing subject.

One thing that I can be fairly certain of is that the OP's Benimar is not much use for what he wants to achieve - sadly, like so many vans these days.
