Hi Matt, There is no excuse for being well overloaded , there are plenty of weighbridges around, private and public(not so many public ones now), all it takes is a trip to one of them when their van is loaded and weight it,(leave car empty to put all the extra weight of the over load). If there was a fine of £1 for every kg overweight, I suspect that a lot of caravaners could be paying out in excess of £100.

Hi Phil, my thoughts exactly, your summing up is spot on. I was under the impression that caravanning, was all about getting away from all the domestic routines and appliances,( I must have mist something),  the amount of stuff people put in their vans beggars belief, A vision of  Caravanning in the future,  All caravaners will have HGV licences  allowing a max tow weight of  100ton, and the Max towing speed for the house must not exceed 40mph.( All the comforts of home, no need to buy a caravan when you can put wheels on your home). Bet even at 100ton max load there would still be those that would exceed it. For my part I will stick with my sparse amount of equipment.
