The advice in the manual says these may have a greater kerb weight if converted and therefore should be treated as not knowing the weight, do you guys think I should still follow this advice if my RBT measures the weight and therefore I know exactly what the weight is?

If you are referring to a goods vehicle fully converted to camper van (not a living van, which is half & half) the default test class is 4 then I see no reason for not being permitted to use ATL presented weights from your RBT.

MOT Manual - Service brake efficiency...

"For Classes 3 and 4 use the weight shown by the brake test equipment".

Non-ATL with RBT which do not give presented weights should revert to the unknown weight advice.

If I was to agree with you, that would make us both wrong !
