Van plate weights and towing

[cheechm]

Hi all,

Looking at getting a 3.5t Citroen van. The max braked towing weight is 3t making the GTW 6.5t. A few questions:

- We'll only be carrying our own goods in the UK. Is a restricted O-licence sufficient?

- Will the van need a tacho fitted?

- Does the plate weight of the van need to be changed? As long as the GTW is written we should be fine right?

- Any driver with a B+E licence is good to drive the van and trailer, right?

- we normally drive lutons. Is there anything I haven't considered?

Cheers
