Hi Dave,
Just a query at this stage. What do you think the GVM and GCM will be for this rig?
Kind regards
Theo

Hi Theo,
It won'tbe much different from standard 100kg max heavier as the rear diff weighs the same and the front weighs the same as the IFS and crossmember and factory very complicated steering linkage setup. The only thing of any real difference is the transfer case at about 50kg (i can move it around myself) and the front driveshaft.
Currently as a LWB bus it has a GVM of 4990kg so a LR licence is needed. If you remove the seats and register it as a motorhome you can reduce the GVM down to 4490kg and drive on a car licence.
The SWB models are 4490kg anyway but 4 feet shorter IMO makes it a bit squashy for a motorhome.
Don't know what the GCM is I'll look at the tags next week.
Dave
