You need to go and talk to a Qld Transport registered engineer and ask him the same question bcoz he is the one that is going to downgrade it for you..

No good asking any of us beco0z we ain't gunna sign the certificate..

So it must be certified by an engineer? that's the reasoning behind my question, thank you.

Have you checked the actual weight when full of fuel, water, gas, food cloths and people?
Pay to do that first or you may be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire....

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Joe,
I agree with P n M, I would be looking at the Tare of the vehicle and estimating the weight of the gear that you will put inside, ie water, diesel, LPG, generator/gennie fuel, clothes, food, Sat dish etc etc, like a lot of tandem caravans this could be up to 500 to 600kg, plus you and partner, Total 750Kg. Payload + tare = ????

Peter
