4.2 Registration
Your motorhome is a vehicle which must be registered. Observe national reg-
ulations on registration.
Please remember that certain countries require a separate national code
sticker in addition to the EU plate.
4.3 Payload
On loading, make sure that the payload's centre of gravity is as low as possible
(directly above the floor of the vehicle). Otherwise this may affect the driving
characteristics of the vehicle.
Overloading the vehicle and wrong tyre pressure can cause tyres to
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with passengers) weighed on a public weighbridge
before you set out on your journey.
Adapt the speed to the payload. The stopping distance is increased if the
payload is high.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight stated in the vehicle
documents by the payload.
Built-in accessories and special equipment reduce the payload.
Adhere to the axle load stated in the vehicle documents.
