We're off to Switzerland soon and I noted in the latest newsletter that there can be problems
with weight at the borders. Any advice as to what to do/take/arrange/change appreciated

Hi Paul, if you have a large van or you are near the limit on your axle weights I think that you ought to go to a weighbridge and get a weight certificate, usually that along with your vehicle registration document will be sufficient provided that you are within limits. HTH

Gross wieight is 3400kg and we are usually there or thereabouts. What's the worst that can happen? Refused entry or extra payment as goods vehicle or thrown in jail for 30 years without remission for wanting to spend time and money admiring their mountains ? I have last years weighbridge tally showing
3100 kg without passenger/clothes/food but including bikes/full fuel &water and all chairs/tables/bbq etc.
How do they approach this sort of thing and is it just a whim that they they think you look big and heavy so give you grief? We're certainly not the biggest so how do others cope? |Any advice gratefully received
