A leased van has a set number of miles that can be accumulated on it. If the number of miles exceeds this number, the charges can be quite costly. To avoid this, it is important to accurately calculate the mileage that one does in a year. Miscalculating this can lead to heavy charges that the individual or company leasing the van was not expecting. Other charges that may be included in a lease is that the individual will have to pay for any damages to the vehicle. Although this would probably be the case should the person own the van outright, there may be some minor damages that the individual would not bother in fixing if the van were their own property?

Most medium sized vans are gross weight of 3.5tonne. The LDV is actually a 5.5tonne van "down-plated" to a 3.5tonne (which is only a paperwork issue) I believe that this is so that Parcelforce doesn't have to pay for the expensive training to get all their drivers on bigger licences. yer its a bugger with these licences.

I have played around for vw campers for years and would have liked to have understood more about campervan wieghts before I actually bought them.....my licence doesnt allow me to drive anything over 3.5 ton, got stopped in Germany once and I had to leave my van on the side of the road. A friend had to fly out and pick it up for me?!?! Bedros www.munichkampers.co.uk great info.
