Weights and limits on Motorhomes

[Kevstar]

Im a tad confused……..
I have a standard B car licence with 3500kg limit.
If a MH is stated as 3500kg and a MTPLM as 3850kg am I able to drive it?

No, or yes, depends on when you passed your driving test.

If before 1997, then you should be ok, if after that, to drive over 3.5t then you need to take a test I'm afraid

I think the important weight is the one on the V5
If it is in fact 3850 you can always down plate it if you don't have the C1 class on your licence.

Agree with previous post, but might be a good idea to visit a weighbridge to ascertain actual weight in use. It is possible that it breeches the 3500kg cat B licence entitlement in everyday use.
Might be a bit of a rock and a hard place situation.

I don't think he's bought it yet.

That's a good idea, after all it may not have enough payload if it's down plated
