tonyfletcher Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hi Quite a few MH's are plated with the 3.5t limit with an option to upgrade. Apart from the obvious (Driving Licence restriction) are there financial advanatges in Europe for staying below the 3.5t. I am considering an A Class under 6.5m and the payloads are not fantastic. I welcome your thoughts, Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yes tolls and vignettes and travelling through Austria/Switzerland can be more expensive, also restrictions in certain towns/city's and roads. If you can manage within 3500kg its less hassle and cheaper. an article in www.Promobil.de this month has examples from main German manufacturers of new lighter weight vans. from the likes of Dethleff, Hymer etc.... there are some A class among them, the Hymer B-CL highlight. these may offer hope of a better payload and 3500kg and yes speed limits are different to....... *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Speed limits are different too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 If you are chugging acros Europe with a 6 tonne A class then 90 KPH is quite fast enough. Let those in a hurry because they have to cram in a holiday between work wizz past in their under 3500 KG panel vans. You will probably see them wizzing in the other direction in a couple of weeks time. And you have more weeks yet to play! C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Collings Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Another reason to stay small. If you read the continental road road signs there are an awful lot of places out of bounds to over 3.5kg vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Could not agree more clive we often forget our weight while going through towns etc, if we were in an RV then we would think different no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 We replated our Tracker EKS to 3850Kgs as we wanted to be away for several months and the original payload was just not enough. It is a trade off and I think you have to decide which is more important to you. We did and replated. Roy Fuller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
