I've fully laden our Autoroller 100 today, inc wife and dog, and taken it to puplic weigh bridge, I was very surprised with the weight ticket I was given. As I've fitted loads of accesories , solar panels, 2 extra 110amp batteries , spare wheel and winding mechanism twin 11kg gaslow bottles, 19"tv, 6ton jack tools etc. Anyway ticket read 3090 total weight so that leaves me 410 kg for bringing the wine :cheers:
back from France, I was worried but now chuffed to mint balls.
John :drive:
 
How much does it cost?

How much does it cost to weigh your motorhome?
I would like to weigh ours with our 'extras' to see where we are with weight.
 
hi, very often as long as you dont want an official ticket its free . find a quarry or a scrap yard they can help out .lots of heavy goods depots have them. some builders supply yards.

Hi Beemer, it cost me £6, the operator said £6 for each ticket total weight, rear axle, and front axle, but he did me one ticket with total weight and printed me the back axle on the bottom. so just £6.
hope this helps.By the way it was a local coal merchants that I went to,recommended by g.rath.

John.
 
I got mine done at Weston Cider Mills near Ledbury. It was about £4.00. He did both wheels and rear axle only two tickets for the same price and signed them.
 
Yorkshire Trading Standards in Morley have a free one that's open 24 hrs. You don't get a ticket though.
 
Do you have to carry a weight ticket in France? we are going over in june.
 
no .you dont need to carry one . he was meaning should you be stopped you can blind them with science .
if you weigh then fill up with water beer wine etc its all to cock anyway. but show a slip look efficent authority is afraid you are smater than them so send you away.

I learnt this weekend from a friend that you do actually get a ticket here, it's dispensed at a hole in the wall. You have to look for it!
 
VOSA also carry devices to weigh your vehicle in a layby, this has happened to me on several occasions in my Sprinter.
