Wondered if anyone owns or has owned this model (1997). Can't seem to find the metal plate with the MIRO etc stamped on it.
Not at the door and the A frame has a fairing so can't seem to find it there.

Info online varies but I think its Miro: 930kg and Max laden:1200kg with Allowable payload: 240kg? which I can keep to about 130kg. Only two of us with few needs.

Would just like to confirm by finding the plate. Just returned to caravanning after a few years break.

Any help much appreciated..

I had the 1996 version and those weights sound about right as far as I can remember. Unfortunately I can't remember where the plate was!

please do not forget when calculating your load weight that the gas bottles,leisure battery,hook up cables,water & waste containers ect ect & if fitted, the mover are not included in the MIRO & have to included in the MTPLM so 240kg is not a lot of payload available

Got the Handbook from the last owner who forgot to leave it in the van.
865kg miro and 1100kg max laden with payload of 205kg is for the 400se.

The 440se is 930kg miro and 1200kg max laden and 1300kg max technical permissable. With payload 240kg.

Many thanks for the replies.

Please disregard it is the 400se..I think I need to go to specsavers or cut back on the wine on a sunny day
