Can anybody help me with this plate on my new Dethleffs I7870I, with any luck I've attached a picture.
The vehicle is supposed to be 5000kgs, but the 3 axles add up to 5100kgs before we start!! and whats the 6000kgs, surely not the towing weight, 1000kgs would hardly pull a small car
Thanks
John

The 5000 kg is the maximum mass of the van plus everything it.(maximum total permitted mass)
The 6000kg is the maximum train mass, and that includes any trailer.
The other three are the weights on each axle.
They do not add up because the limit is caused by a different limitation in each case.
Roughly the axle weights are to do with tyres suspension etc. and the other two are to do with the engine, brakes, clutch, and gearbox.
Hope that this helps.
