How did you get on with VOSA Christine? My Royale Tourstar is up to its max permitted weight when it's practically empty! And that's with the on-board water, water heater, electric pump etc etc removed!

Thanks Christine.

hi uncle alec
vosa are now a self financing organisation and need all the cash they can get so lookout for them on the road they need your cash.
however they were ok with me as they were checking axil weights on cars and trailers the car skoda octavia tdi was a 3/4 of a ton under its limit and the royale t 1475 no water tank was about averagely loaded came in at 1174 kg adout 30kg under it's max so no problem.
watch out no your weights and try to keep legal i mean it they do need your dosh
