I have had a look at the
suspension on my mates lotus van(duel wheel) and it has simplicity stamped on it, i have the same set up on my Windsor rapid off road and was wondering if this is also a simplicity set up?(single axle)

The Simplicity dual wheel
suspension is fitted to my Supreme Territory van (21'). It managed rough ground easily, and sure gives the van great clearance
It is stamped as rated for 3,500 kgs, and the van is sitting on a truck like F.P chassis, placarded at 3,500kgs and weight of 800kgs, so is very heavy.
The ATM of the van is still limited to 2790kg, that is exactly 400kgs + 120kgs towbar weight over the Tare weight.
I wonder what happens to the 710kgs weight the chassis and
suspension can take?
Could take a lot more water when
bush camping.

We have 2006 Supreme 21' Territory, same chassis maker and rated 3500kgs. Simplicity
suspension rated to 3500kgs. 16inch Landcruiser wheels. At purchase of van we requested a payload of 600kgs instead of 400kgs. Maybe go back to your dealer or Supreme direct to see if weights can be amended? They will know all the inclusions of your van and can advise whether ATM can be increased

Were you able to actually get the ATM increased? I rang Supreme on Thursday mentioning the issue, and I suggested I wanted to add extra water tanks etc.
They said add them, and then get you van Tared up again, +400kg payload, and that could be your new GTM. Still no increase in payload.
