What is Camper Van (Motorhome)?

Converted vans are compact; coachbuilt motorhomes are larger. Heavy motorhomes may need a licence above category B. Gas, water and electrical systems need regular checks. Many countries have special parking rules for motorhomes.

How it works

The vehicle’s cabin is fitted with living equipment on a van or truck chassis.

Why it matters for your car

Do not exceed the maximum weight, including water and luggage. Check height and width limits on roads and car parks.
