Said LWB tall roof Mercedes Sprinter weighed 1100kg over its rated GVM WITHOUT the 1000L of water it could carry.

There's hardly any regulations on the aftermarket in this country, its an absolute ****show and the lack of quality on the junk they put out is astounding, you'd only believe it when you see it.

This country has regulations that governs modifications but unfortunately some people get it wrong by not following the rules, take the Vic police for one example with some of their new booze buses that cannot be driven on our roads.
