Weight tolerances query

[MichaelT]

There was a motorhome hire company regularly posted on the local facebook page 6 berth vans, I asked numerous times what the payload was, never ever got a reply.

I've done the same

There’s a lot on here don’t care either
In fact there’s a distinguished member on here running his new van overweight He’s even tried fitting lithium and victron stuff to try and get the weight down

It's all the EHU cables he's carrying taking him over

I'm saying if you're weighed and need to lose some weight and you've not been on a site would PC Plod allow you to dump waste water on the road or is that fly tipping/dumping?

Yes, that's why I put 'It depends where you are stopped'....I'd hope that if there was a suitable drain, they'd let you use it (you'd maybe have to explain that it is NOT toilet waste and the drain would need to be a mains one rather than a rainwater drain)

The really sad thing about all this is that the vast majority of people that do not belong to this forum have absolutely no idea of payload or the possible consequences of not staying in their payload limit.

Yep was at the NEC show today I mentioned payload to the wife she had no idea what it was

Weighing when full is the only way, even if you are under the plate weight you may still be well over axle weight especially on rear.

Some people tell me "it's just clean water" why wouldn't PC Plod not allow it?

Maybe they will maybe not which is what I said.

I'd love to see those people add a bit to a wee dram, or drink a pint of it.....
