Unfortunately it weighs over 7.5t. I vaguely remember it being just over eight when it went to vosa, but I've been asleep a few times since then! When I built it we were under the impression that the "loophole" for driving 7.5t+ campers on a car licence still existed (in fact so was the vosa guy - they don't talk to dvla much!) as 2 of the 4 owners didn't have hgv. Otherwise I would have mounted the box direct to the chassis rather than leaving the flat bed on, removed the heavy bumpers and done a few other lightening mods. Now it's built it's not worth it (for me) to strip it all down and start again. When I travel I take my 110 Land Rover, or the motorbike... (incidentally, my next bike trip was going to be to Norway. I see the Harwich-Esbjerg run is closing this autumn thanks to the EU low sulphur ultimatum, but that's for another thread!)
Thanks for your compliments, and the price is negotiable!
Simon.
