Can we get our vans recomplianced? I mean the axels etc would be rated to carry x amount so wondering if could get our payload increased?
What would this involve and how much?
BJ.
Your van would have 2 ton axles and 1 ton rims and has around an 1800kg GVM so that could give you an extra 200kg which would also mean a higher tow ball weight and you would be on your max limits, never a good thing plus you would have to upgrade your tyres which if like my originals the load rating was not high enough anyway, looking at most vans they only seem to have a 300 or 400kg payload which most people ignore as the payload is usually taken up by water, full gas bottles, fuel jerry, pushies and barbie.
So you would really have to go new axles, rims, tyres, springs, break away kit since your on the 2ton and probably some other thing because you only have one axle, be easier to get a new van but then the same thing arises.
The shackle load rating always amazes me, when a van lets go the tow bar seems to be ripped from the tow anyway so it's academic, van and tow go flying all over the place, a scary thing to see I can tell you.
