continental tolls are much higher, speed limits lower (no unladen weight nonesense there) and there are often town centre restrictions which would be annoying if you bought a PVC so as to be able to enter (and park in) towns/villages.

the above are the reasons I wanted to keep my van at 3500 kg which I can do easily

My sentiments entirely - and I have a 100 litre fresh and 70l waste tank! up!

The other significant penalty is the 3.5 tonne limit on quite a lot of roads, particularly in France. Over 3500 sometimes MUST use the motorway.

But how would they know you have it up plated and that it's not still plated at 3500kg?
