Upgrading to 7.5t motorhome (2 Viewers)

[Gingernuts]

IF I was to change to a 7.5t motorhome apart from uk and eu speed limits is there anything else I would need to factor in?
Do you pay for vignettes to travel on all roads, in countries that have them, or just motorways?

A lot of the more small village aires have 3.5 T weight restrictions we creep in at 4000kg but 7500 kg might be a problem.

Increase in all Toll costs in Europe
medical required every year after the age of 70
some weight restricted roads
The MOT can be a pain due to the size of the vehicle

When you say 7.5t do you mean sub 7.5t ie grandfather rights "old farts" licence or over 7.5t where you would need a HGV C licence, over 3500kg you need a toll box/gp box in a lot of countries.

Not as big as you (4.5 T 7.5 Mtr) but we get our mot done at Plymouth Citybus where size is no problem.

How slowly do you have to creep in to get away with it?
