davenewellhome Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well pretty much as in the title really. The reason I am asking is that I have had a Flair of this vintage in the workshop yesterday and today and among other things there appears to be a discrepancy on MAM. The only plate I can find states 3500KGs as MAM but when I weighed it I got a total of 3780KGs with me on board, I'm 90 KGS so that still leaves the motorhome at 3690KGS with hardly anything on board and empty water tanks, even the garage is empty. The tax disc shows PLG which means it is supposed to be less than 3500KGs MAM. Does anyone else own a Flair of similar vintage and know what the specified MAM is and even better if you know your actual weights. Thanks in advance, D.

Clive Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Ask the owner to bring in the vehicle license doc Dave. Its the REVENUE WEIGHT that you require. See ya soon I guess. Regards C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Tread soft, for I suspect the van has either a dodgy plate, or a dodgy past! No reputable operator would plate a van to below its unladen weight, so sommats up! Problem is, you don't know who is the culprit, so keep your shin guards in your socks, and your knee caps out of sight! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Exactly Brian. What I'm trying to establish is whether or not N&B plated these monsters at 3500KGs in 1998 or not. The owner is non computer literate so will have difficulty sorting out the relevant info so I'm just trying to dig a bit up for him. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnerontheroad Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Dave, If you PM me I will forward a N+B Flair 98 manual with all weights. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Cheers Dave, it would appear that it should be plated at 3850KGs. I'll pass this info on to the customer. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Dave N, But can your customer still drive it if it were replated to 3,850 kg? If he's unlucky then he may need to put it on a serious diet, is there a version of the Atkins for a MH? Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
