Weight upgrade

Hi just a thought can you upgrade the weight on these panel van con versions? Just looking at the payload it doesn't seen to give a lot. I looked at the "Autosleeper" plate it says
3500kg
6500kg
1, 2100kg
2, 2400kg

Any suggestions?

You can, but do you have the correct licence to drive a vehicle which weighs more than 3,500kg?

If you have, you might want to contact [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

It's purely a paper exercise, and rather expensive paper it is too, but it could increase your payload by 250kg or so.

Probably?

SV Tech upgraded mine to 4500kg - as Gromit says, it's a paper exercise

Yes thanks, so I can get another 1000 kg what do I need to get that ,have already got 16" wheels & air suspension, it could be better than towing.

Ask SVTech.

They will be able to give you facts, the rest of us would probably be guessing.

Fill in the form on SV Tech web page - they got back to me and I talked to them on the phone.

Very helpful - think the guy was called Gareth that I spoke too.


Once you pay them, they send you the paperwork through and a new weight plate.

Stick the new plate, carefully, onto your door pillar.

Follow their instructions and send off your V5 to Swansea - it comes back 4500kg and you pay less road tax - simples!

Both our vans are the same base models so I ASSUME they can both be uprated to the same weights.
