weight alteration for LEZ (downgrading to 3.5t)

[ENJOYLIFE]

Hi there,
I just joined now and maybe have to find my way around here
Maybe my question is already answered.
I have a motorhome (Rimor Katamarano 9) that is registered as 3.995t
(Exact same models are registered as 3.5t)
Now I am trying to downsize it but am very confused. After calling DVLA and DVSA I am none the wiser. I think I got as many answers as calls I made and none seemed to be helpful.
Has anybody downsized their motorhome and can assist me? Dont want to pay a £100,- daily fee for driving in Greater London.
Do I have to fill out the VTG10 and is that all? And is there a place where I can get help how to fill it out if that is what I have to do?

Thank you so much for all your help
Erich

Yes exactly that we sent away the V5 with the new owners details and the weight details, it was then sent to the new owners from DVLA with the new weight of 3500kg.

Perfect, thanks!

Great, tank you for sharing this.

Reading my post back it doesn't really make sense, I think most of my posts are the same

When we sold our Adria the new owner didn't have the C1 so needed it downrated, I contacted DVLA and all I had to do was provide a ticket with the unladen weight on it. Once I done this the new owner just changed the weight when applying for the tax, this was 5 years ago so may have changed.

Do you remember what the weight was? Went to the weigh bridge today and it is 2900kg. Should that be ok?

Our van was plated at 3850kg and Van Weight Engineering did the paperwork to get it downplated to 3500kg. They just needed a copy of the V5 and they then sent me some simple forms to fill out. It was straightforward and cost £120. If I wanted to re-plate it to 3850kg at some time in the future they could sort it at a reduced cost.

Do you remember what the weight of your motorhome was? Went to the weigh bridge today and it is 2900kg. Should that be ok?

£100 A day, to go into London wouldn't want to go there if they paid me £100.

Didn't need to weigh it. You just have to remember to keep it below the new plated weight when in use.
Just so that you aware, before the down plating the permissible axle loads were 2000kg rear, 1850kg front. After down plating they were still 2000kg rear and 1850kg front but now I can't have them both loaded to their maximum at the same time. I can have any combination of loads within their permitted max but keeping within 3500kg total.
