That's one hell of a difference isn't it. I've just looked at a 2007 brochure http://www.hymer.com/medien/pdf/11601276...ng_2007_ENG.pdf which quotes an MRO of 800kg on a 410 and 418, while a 420 or a 430 weighs in at 830Kg which more or less tallies with your Hymer figure.
Assuming yours has got the Diamond Pack (865kg) + mover (30kg) you're still 50kg out somewhere.
There are some Tritons which have been upgraded to give a 1200kg max. permitted laden mass (see brochure) so could this hold the answer?

That's probably it then. Do others agree? I suppose they have to beef up somewhere or other to give you the extra payload so an additional 50kg of "beef" doesn't sound too bad, does it.

My 2012 Familia 320 is plated at 900kg however it has a 1050kg BPW axle, unless I get the van replated to reflect the axle I will still be over the limit if I go over the max 900kg on the van plate near the door....

Ours is the Triton 430 bought here in Germany. I have no idea what diamond pack includes but ours came with what is called a 'Touring Packet' which included:

Alloy wheels 185/70 R14, Spare wheel (steel), Fly screen on door and all windows, Wooden cutting board on sink, 30L cold water tank and 2 x extra 230V sockets making 4 in total. Oh, and a 80x50cm access hatch to the stow room under the bed plus the 1200kg axle.

With no gas bottles on board I took the Triton to our local weighbridge and it came in at 909kg.

Just completely emptied the van, no gas bottles just the mover with onboard battery nothing else, weight now 922K, I now think this is weight of the van give or take 10% with your weight of 908k it is in and around that figure , what in I find interesting is where Hymer get 825k from and lechlade 865k with their diamond pack
