Hey guys, I've been scouting the forum for a couple of days for interesting ideas and tips. Tomorrow morning I'll be picking up my first van - a spankers new Transporter T28 LWB 150 Highline in Indium Grey. Photos to follow tomorrow, but it's fairly stock - just swivel seats and the bulkhead removed.
Just today I decided it'd be a good time to start panicing that I'd made the wrong choice going for the T28 and that I'd likely be crashing in to weight limit issues - but in hindsight, I think I'm just worrying for the sake of it.
I'm going to be doing a semi-self conversion, doing as much as I can and dragging in a pro once I don't know what I'm doing. It'll be a minimalist conversion as the van will be my daily driver and primarily used for carting around mountain bikes and my 3 Siberian Huskies. So based on that, I don't think the weight should be too much of an issue after all.
I'll post this query in another thread if it doesn't get any response here, but may as well ask now rather than creating many threads. Can anyone confirm for me how specific speed limits work in regards to a commercial van? I understand that in a National Speed Limit area, on a single highway it's limited to 50, and on a dual carriageway it's limited to 60. But, for example, there are single carriageways in Scotland which denote 60 explicity. Do these class as National, and therefore I must do 50? Or is this explicitly open to any vehicle capable of the speed?
Cheers!
