2.2 Loading
Denition of masses (weights) for
caravans
The EU regulation 97/27/EG applies for calcula-
ting the masses (weights) and for the loading
which results from these calculations. The EU
regulations correspnd to a great extent to the
norm DIN EN 1645-2. The terms and basic
calculation elements used in this description are
explained in the following:
1. Gross vehicle weight rating (g.v.w.r.)
The indication of the gross vehicle weight rating
is taken directly from the HOBBY factory. These
weights were calculated as a result of lengthy
and detailed experiments; for safety reasons,
they may not be exceeded.
2. Mass in running order
The mass in running order corrsponds to the
weight of the standard vehicle including all
standard equipment installed at the factory (e.g.
all-inclusive package) plus the basic equipment
(see Item 3).
3. Basic equipment
The basic equipment consists of all objects and
uids which are necessary for the safe and pro-
per use of the vehicle. These include the masses
for gas, water and electrical supply (see Item
12.3 for a detailed specication).
