5. Free interchangeability of base vehicle
and caravan:
Different caravans may be combined with
different base vehicles.
You are responsible for ensuring that the
preceding regulations are met if you plan
to drive at 100 km/h.
6. The correct drawbar load gives you more
safety:
Please refer to page 02-5 for the
recommended drawbar load.
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.
Actual vehicle mass:
Mass of the vehicle when ready to drive plus the
mass of the optional extras.
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
13.3 for a detailed specication).
3.11 Denition of mass
Denition of masses (weights) for
caravans
The EG regulation 97/27/EG applies for calcula-
ting the masses (weights) and for the loading
which results from these calculations. The EG
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.
