Some very helpful information about tyre replacement in the previous thread I started. Many thanks for that. I have had wheels and spare replaced.

I have a question. Mine are 5 stud wheels on a Triton 430 from 1997 or thereabouts I believe. IMG_20200811_110422659_copy_600x800.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

On the plate the miro is 900kg and mptlm 1000kg. Am I correct in thinking the chassis with 5 studs is actually capable of carrying 1200kg? I think that later Tritons have 1200kg as mptlm.

It would be good to have clarification on this. The tyres are rated to 1068kg so that would obviously limit my payload. But if I had a bit more to play with that would be nice.

If the plate says 1000kg then that is your legal max regardless of what the van is capable of. If you ask Hymer then then can issue a new plate up to whatever the van is capable of (you need to pay for this though).

Stan, if you look under the axle you'll find Al-Ko's oval rating plate which, amongst other things, will show the axle load rating. This is the absolute rating which mustn't be exceeded.
Your brake drums are type 2050 (200mm dia x 50mm wide) with taper roller bearings - these are available with 4 or 5 studs so not always a reliable indication of the axle load.

Many thanks for the advice. I'll look for the oval plate. All things considered, I don't think it's worth going through the process of replating. Just carry less stuff!

Had a burrow under van the other day and found the oval plate on the axle which confirms the 1000kg limit. Screenshot_20200920-151116_copy_540x960.png - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Aren’t the tyres rated for their load?
Surely each tyre would only have 1/2 the Van after the nose weight is deducted?

And on the Triton axle limit has anyone noticed that the 1000kg to 1200kg upgrade has crept up to 1000kg to 1300kg since 2018?

I do sometimes wonder what people pack in their vans. We have a 410 with a 1200kg axle fitted with a Reich Easydriver Pro mover. Axle weight with food, all our clothes for a week away, a gallon of water, two 4.5kg calor propane bottles, two chairs, barbecue, table etc and we top out at 1105kg plus a nose weight of 60kg. The awning (Kampa pop air) travels in the car boot, mainly to save humping the weight in and out of the van. Same goes for the large Eriba table on the rare occasions we use it, we usually just make do with the slatted table we carry in the van. I hate manhandling the weight of the Eriba table inside the van, it could do so much damage if you lost control of it.

Add 2 bikes clothes for 3 months, tools and a few spares [just in case] and you are going towards 1250

Planning to get to a weighbridge for peace of mind....

I did that, loaded the van as normal and went to our local weighbridge, what do you want it to be she said? 1200 I said, it's 1300 she said, I've since had an axle upgrade to 1300.
