Adria Twin 600 SP weight problem (Not with SVtech)

[Alshymer]

Hi
Just bought an Adria Twin from Chelston with bike rack/Solar panel/ Waeco 2000w inverter/Oyster Twin/microwave etc. (I like my goodies!!!)
Filled up the van with everything except food and clothes, took it to a weigh bridge and found the weight to be on the limit of 3300kgs.
Talked to SVtech (Graham) who were extremely helpful and for a fee of £312 they would do all the documentation to uprate the Adria to 3500kgs.
No visit, no extra parts on the van-just a paper exercise. BRILLIANT.
Why Adria don't list the TWIN as 3500kgs, I don't know. Surely it would be more marketable with a larger payload.
Thanks very much again to SVtech.
Kind regards
Alshymer

Glad you got sorted :cool1: Sv Tech are very knowledgeable and helpful and they are only 10 minutes from where i live :dance:

Make sure you send off the completed V5 along with a copy of the certificate you got from them so the DVLA can alter the database and the V5.

Also don`t forget to inform the insurance company.

Give it a few weeks then check the vehicle details here https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/

I used them to uprate mine as when fully loaded i was right on the MTPLM of 3,850 Kgs so i had no leeway at all :sad:

It was actually just over ( 40 Kgs ) on the rear axle so something had to be done.

I went up from 3,850 Kgs to 4,100 Kgs which all went on the rear and that was exactly where i needed.

It was the same as yours just a paper exercise and some money of course.

I took my van to them so it only took 30 minutes or so and i came away with a new VIN plate sticker already fitted and the paperwork.
