Check in the small print. I'm pretty sure there are size and weight limits - on the vehicle not you

RAC will only recover you if its under 3t anything over they will charge you a massive excess,

this can be costly if your away from home though

CF340/350 are over 3tons as standard.
most coach built are nearer to 4tonnes though thats with out water/gas and whatever you take with you on your jollies.

even a CF280 converted to a camper will be touching 3.5tones partly loaded........

I'm a bit confused about the weight issue.
There is a brochure on this website that gives the weight of some of the C.I. models:

http://www.bedford-cf.co.uk/br/br51.htm

None of the others manufacturers seem to list the weight but this one clearly shows:
Brigand (Poptop)29Cwt.
Autohome (Coachbuilt) 32Cwt.
Bedouin (Coachbuilt) 34Cwt.

This is presumably the Unladen weight of the complete vehicle rather than just the chassis that it's built on? . . . . . or is it ? ? ? ? ?

PTT.

your correct in what your saying and they all under 2 tons

now add all the extras that you carry and you will be surprised how quickly it all adds up....
