You should have another drain valve between the water pump and water heater. A frozen water heater is an expensive mistake.

Agree with what others have said. I think you really do need to put all your stuff back + the extras food, clothes and get another weigh in. Yes will be interesting if your numbers match the weigh bridge. Looking forward to the next update. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Great video but I was amazed how light it is as it's mahoosive. So, Wales, that's exciting, did a few days there earlier this year around Tenby and Newgale. Loved it.

We always get three weights when we go to the weighbridge, front axle, whole van and rear axle. When we first got our current van we were 80kg over the maximum rear axle weight (number 2 on the plate). We regularly have it weighed as you kind of just add kit without thinking as time goes on

I got a van weighed on a weighbridge for courier work. I had all tools loaded, plus myself and 30 litres extra emergency fuel. I then knew how much carrying capacity I could carry before I started work. Also, when one leaves a site, dose one always drain every last drop of water out, or will one leave a drop in the tank for usage when travelling between sites for an external shower etc.

We only travel with 25% fresh water and fill up on arrival. Always empty waste and toilet before leaving site. We do tend to put household soda crystals into waste tank and empty boiler into it so we keep our waste tank clean, no smells. We clean the fresh tank with Purecleanse annually. Your doing really well for novices 👍

remember the total weight has to include full toilet full gas cylinder full diesel tank full waste tank full fresh water plus all the people and all the gear clothes food bikes etc everything.

Brilliant! Good on you to show this oo many motorhome owners deaf and blind to this subject. As Archie says fill it up in full traveling mode and back to the bridge . I weighed 3000 empty and with our gear in ( gas cooking food ,water.fuel etc. )and just wife and I . plus a couple of light bikes climbing gear or wetsuits for just two of us we topped out at 3820 kg We do run full of water ( so extra 140 kg ) as do not use camp sites. The important weight is the axle weights your plate says 1850 on the front and 2000 rear . You can be under 3500 but still over weight on one of the axles Weight twice whilst full. One full van ( both axles )the second just rear or front axle and that will give the the other one with a bit of subtraction. My rear is 2200 avg due to the overhang ( my max is 2240 on rear ) 3850 total running mass Will be interesting to see how good your scales are.

Brillant , whether or not you weigh loaded or unloaded you haven’t overlooked the one issue many dealers do not address when selling a motor home. Love the channel, hope you & your family have great memories Take care

The plants would have happily taken the grey water too.

Great exercise, but as others have said load it up, put a small amount of water in, fill it with diesel and take the gang to the weigh bridge again, fun day out lol, iwhilst you get the total weight, also get your two axle weights , they are as important especially for braking. Also, I would consider up playing, if you have C1 on your license then you will get to 3850kg in the blink of an eye, a company near Poole does this, for around £300 mark, you will then be well within your limits then without scrimping. Another tip - a.ways empty grey waste at every opportunity, no good carrying waste water if you can avoid it

Re google maps. If you download the maps at home where you have data, you won't need it when travelling as it is on your phone

The biggest surprise was that you don’t have any solar panels on your roof 😮😮. Best upgrade you can make 👌🏽👌🏽😉

Daz you get find so much if your over g.v.w.

You should of put all your stuff in , No water & filled with Diesel , then weighed it with either you & your wife , you would see how much is left / then add the childrens weight after having van weighed , plus bikes , food , computers . If over 3500 kg you are overweight & theoretically your insurance is invalid . It happened to me . You can get it up plated

you should weigh it fully loaded ie as you would use it ! Then if it’s under 3500kg you are legal

Sensible exercise guys! Bet there are quite a few running about well overweight and don't realise the consequences! ( New Sub)👍

Don’t understand why you are unloading it all the whole idea of taking it to a weighbridge is to see if you are over weight with all the stuff is in it, also watch your axle weights 1 and 2 on the plate in the engine bay tells you there limit
