As my Cali turned four years i had to go to "keuring" (in Dutch) like you guys have MOT i guess.
So they now gave me a effective technical detail afther weighing.
Don't ask me why it takes to the fourth year to do this , i would say it must be done before taking the verhicle in to traffic , but hey i live in Belgium and we got plenty of very strange rules

It comes to the point i unloaded the booth as the verhicle must be presented "empty" .
So the plastic boxes fitting the booth went out and also emptyed the cupboard , drawer and removed the Porta-Potti.
Fresch watertank was full , as was the diesel 80l , waste water empty.
As it state the max total weight 3000kg
They weight the Cali 2500kg tarra
The marging seems 3000kg -75kg (driver)-verhicle tarra = the loading capacity.
425kg it is , passengers and luggage can not exeed 425kg
How is this in your cases ...UK legal ?
For me think i will be ok as we are just two and a dog . Been weighing the plastic boxes before loading back in , three boxes and the kitchengear 120kg and about counting 100kg for the passenger and our dog.
All this is the standaard equipment .
Leaving me about 200kg for food , tin cans , drinks , dogfood , sleepinggear,dogbench , clothes ,....and other additional stuff.
If i read and see on here what some others load up , i have no doubt they will be in overload
Four persons,rack+bikes,roofbox+load, awningtents,towbar,.....
To my fellow Belgians here : what says your "keuringsverslag" ?
