Will Motorhomes Soon Need a Tachograph?

The European Commission has clarified that non-commercial motorhomes over 7.5 tonnes will not be subject to mandatory tachograph rules. This follows a proposal that initially caused uncertainty for owners of heavier vehicles, particularly when towing trailers or carrying specific loads. The new EU position allows member states to explicitly exempt such private vehicles from driving time, rest period, and tachograph regulations.

Calls for new motorhome and campervan driving licence rule in England

A petition is urging the UK government to allow standard car licence holders to drive motorhomes weighing up to 4,250kg, aligning with proposed EU changes. Currently, a Category B licence only permits driving vehicles up to 3,500kg, requiring a heavier C1 licence for weights up to 7,500kg. The petition has over 4,000 signatures and needs 10,000 for a government response.

UK drivers with motorhomes could face new licence rules as warning issued

A petition is calling for the UK government to raise the weight limit for motorhomes driven on a standard car licence. It seeks to increase the Category B licence limit from 3,500kg to 4,250kg, aligning with proposed EU changes, and has garnered over 1,500 signatures. Currently, driving a motorhome over 3,500kg requires a heavier vehicle licence (C1 or C).

Calls for major driving licence change with over 200k affected

A petition is calling for UK driving licence rules to be aligned with a proposed EU change, allowing holders of a standard Category B licence to drive motorhomes up to 4,250kg instead of the current 3,500kg limit. The change, argued to benefit drivers of automatic models suitable for some with disabilities, would affect an estimated 290,000 vehicles. The petition requires 10,000 signatures for a government response and 100,000 to be considered for parliamentary debate.

Converted van vs. motorhome: parking, insurance... what you are (really) allowed to do

The article clarifies the regulatory differences between converted vans and motorhomes, focusing on homologation, insurance, and parking. In France, over 15,000 new vans were registered between August 2024 and 2025, surpassing motorhome registrations. Key distinctions include the mandatory VASP homologation for vans with fixed living amenities, stricter insurance requirements, and different toll and parking rules, where vans often face fewer restrictions than motorhomes.

Neighbor leaves motorhome in front of my house year-round: is it legal? The law decides

French law strictly regulates long-term parking of motorhomes on public roads. A vehicle cannot be parked in the same public spot for more than seven days without special permission, with violations incurring a €35 fine. For stays exceeding three months, a declaration to the town hall is mandatory to avoid the vehicle being considered an illegal deposit.
