Hi everyone. New here.... 😁 Ok. I have an old 1972 franklin 16ft van. Only has vin number of v1185 welded on chassis draw bar. Any info would be great?. Big issue i have recently was trying to rego it before i strip and renovate, eg so i can move it here and there and make sure the thing can be rego -ed. So im in sydney. Had a blue slip done, had some old paper work that stated it was rego-ed in SA, and basically stated gvm 880?? No tare nothing. Blue slip bloke just filled in what he seen on old paper work. I went to rms they wanted tare and gvm. My guess is he has put the tare as gvm weight.... So how do i figure or work out gvm weight of a trailer 50years ago. ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Im lost big time I can get a weigh bridge easy enough for tare but rms want the gvm ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Cheers guys and girls much help needed!

Sorry also, ifi gettare weight from weigh bridge, am i allowed to geuss the loaded weight of say 300 400kgs? That will take it up from eg 880 tare to 1180-1280.
Has 14 inch holden tyres Axle is round 58/60mm
Much help needed people.
Cheers

Hi Franklin 1972 With a GVM generally you are allowed 300KG over tare, depends who you get on the day at RMS.
The only other wayto increase the GVM is IF you have upgraded the original & have an engineers certificate to validate your work.
I recently had the same problem, when I finally got to the GVM the lady suggested we use the tyre maximum, so I got 1400KG GVM for a 14'Sunliner not that I will ever need it. PS: Best to be on their side, why not call & ask them for advice also.

Thanks mustang.
I spent the whole morning sorting it out. Weigh bridge came in at 900kg on the knocker.
Blue skip man out 900kg for tare oviously, and basically guessed the gvm of 300kg. So its 1200 gvm.
Its all regersted now, but am a bit concerned about the 300kg. Is this normal ?
Without an engeneer whi would no these weights ?
Is it a guessing game is it ??
Lady at rms would wanted to no the ins and outs of..........,.
Cheers

I had the same problem registering mine ended up ringing the blue slip person when I was at desk he told them 2400kg gvm so they registered it at 1160kg's tare and 2400kg's gvm loaded to travel wouldn't be over 1300kg's. the problem you have is keeping the weight down during your build . the gvm weight usually is worked out by the part that has the lowest maximum weight Example you may have tyres that have a maximum loaded weight of 2000kg but you axle only has a max loaded weight of 1100kg's then the gvm will be 1100kg's
There is a little more to this with engineers involved etc but that can be a lot of money for very little gain
