Denition of Masses for Motor homes (2007)
Throughout Europe, EU Guideline 92/21/EWG is applicable for
calculating the masses (weights) and resulting loads for motor
homes. The terms and basis used for calculations are
explained below.
1. Technically permissible overall mass
The gure for the technically permissible overall mass is based
on information given by the Hobby Motor home Plant in co-
operation with the manufacturer of the base vehicle. This mass
was determined in extensive calculations and tests and, for
safety reasons, it may not be exceeded under any
circumstances.
2. Mass when the vehicle is ready to start
The mass when the vehicle is ready to start corresponds to the
mass of the empty vehicle including lubricants, tools, spare
tyre (and/or repair kit), petrol (100 %), booster battery, all of the
standard equipment mounted by the factory as well as 75 kg
for the driver, plus basic equipment (gas, water, electric).
3. Basic Equipment
The basic equipment includes all of the equipment and liquids
that are necessary to ensure safe and proper use of the vehicle.
This includes the weights of:

3.1 Chassis
The chassis includes parts of the frame and the axles. No
technical changes may be made, as otherwise the general type
approval will expire!
Technical changes may only be carried out after being
released by the manufacturer.
For further information, please refer to the enclosed ope-
rating instructions for the basic vehicle.
3.2 Loading
The maximum axle loads as well as the technically permis-
sible overall mass entered in the vehicle‘s documents may
not be exceeded.
