Usual figure for most seems to be £1/mile I think.

What's the job?

What sort of weight is it? Might be too much for a 3.5t transporter.

Yeh but Mike means it may be too heavy for a 3.5T transporter - which is all you can drive. You may also find it doesn't fit on there.

IIRC something like a Transit or VW Transporter is as big as you could drive - and you can't fit that many vehicles on the back of them tbh due to size and weight limits.

I hope I'm not talking complete bollocks here anyway, that's based on what I believe I've been told in the past by a recovery firm

Yeah to give an idea on weights, our old Transit had an unladen weight of 1991kg which left us 1509kg for driver, passengers, fuel and load. The Sprinter luton we hire is around 2400kg which only leaves 1100kg for driver, passengers fuel and load so you could do with knowing what the unladen weight of the transporter would be in order to work out whether the camper's light enough to keep within the 3.5t or not.

Length could be an issue too although I have heard of a Transit transporter being loaded onto a Transit transporter before so that's probably less of an issue but I would check out the bed length and make sure you can at least get the back wheels on.
