Its the plated weight of 3500kgs which is important. Many motorhome manufacturers restrict the weight to 3500kgs to enable people with a basic licence to drive them. You can have the motorhome replated to 3850kgs to make use of the extra axle weight allowance which you have to register with the DVLA. If you are stopped for being overweight there are some hefty fines to pay.

If the maximum gross weight of the vehicle is 3500kg, then you cannot load the vehicle to more than this. The maximum axle loads refer to each individual axle. If for example your van was loaded to a weight of 3300kg, but your rear axle load was 2300kg, you are breaking the law, as your maximum axle load has been exceeded even though your gross vehicle weight is under the limit.

If your planning t travel abroad it can be much more expensive to take a van over 3500kg on motorways and such like.

Ah! But Ah! But Ah!
If you get charged as Class 3 on the Motorways, press the button, speak to the remote voice, "Je suis le camping car. Classe Deaux s'il vous plait."
99% of the time, they will reduce you to the cheaper rate.
