CVRT Tests

Not of direct help to you since you are in the Republic, but in the UK, the converters vin plate is the relevant for licence and tax.
My van is also a Hymer B598 A class, (2016) it has a Fiat Vin plate for the cab section which originally would have been designed with a Fiat chassis. It has a second Vin plate sitting beside the Fiat one just under the bonnet because my van has an ALKO chassis from the cab back.
The third vin plate, which is the accepted plate by the DVLA is the Hymer vin which is on the valance beside the habitation door on the offside.
Like yours my plates all carry differing weights, although I have not looked recently. I uprated my van from 3500kg (hymer weight) to 3850kg ALKO chassis top weight, so this was able to be done without any material change to the van.
Sadly your problem seems to be just another example of the confusion and poor legislation and guidelines that seem to plague motorhomers in the south.
The Fiat and ALKO plates are metal, riveted to the crossmember just under the bonnet. The Hymer is a stick on plastic lamination.
Is it possible the examiners did not see your Hymer plate because of its location, or is it possible the sticker has come off?
Hope you can get a satisfactory outcome.

Your Reg cert has 3500 on it, can't see Garda /insurance looking for anything else, but it's typical pre 10 Reg certs in ROI, did they test it as an lgv or charge for the higher hgv test

Both the same price eirebus.

But as said it's the Hymer VIN plate that counts and the Registration Certificate is the legal government document.
Some of those CVRT testers haven't a clue when it comes to motorhomes.

Watch out though, some changes made by CVRT testers to the RSA CoVIS (Commercial Vehicle Information System) system can find their way into the NVDF (National Vehicle & Driver File) from which the Registration Certificate is printed. If the vehicle goes through a change of ownership process the new Cert could be issued with the incorrect weight entered by the CVRT tester.

See what is on the cert when you get it, mine has 4000 kg on it so hopefully yours has 3500 on it

Thank you for the reply,
Going back to the Test Centre and I will update you when I find out what's happening.
Cheers, John.

Game, set and match. The original German registration certificate is, like our registration certificate, a legal government issued document. Information contained on it is, unlike ours, a true account of a vehicles actual specifications. It should also confirm that the Hymer plate is the plate whose details are the ones under which the vehicle was originally registered.

Thanks for the reply.

Just got the new Cert today and it's showing 3900kg

CVRT Cert but the tester refunded me the price of the test yesterday.
Cheers.

Sorry baguette I can't read the PM as I don't have enough posts.


Just heard from the Test Center, RSA contacted him and confirmed that he should use the Hymer Sticker to verify the weight.
So must go back to him on Wednesday for a new test, will update then.
Thanks everyone for all the help. Cheers John.
