It is important that the value given in our sales documents for the weight in driveable condition is a standard value which is determined during the type approval procedure and checked by the authorities. It is legally permissible and possible for the weight in driveable condition of the vehicle which is delivered to you to differ from the nominal value specified in the sales documents due to production-related tolerances. The legal tolerance is ± 5%. The EU legislator has taken into account the fact that there are certain fluctuations in the weight in driveable condition due to fluctuations in the weight of the supplied parts as well as process and weather-related factors. Please take this into consideration when you are selecting and configuring your motorhome. Example calculation illustrating these (permissible) production-related weight deviations: Weight in driveable condition according to sales documents: Legally permissible range of weight in driveable condition: Legal tolerance of ± 5%: 2,900 kg 2,755 to 3,045 kg 145 kg The specific range of permissible weight deviations for the weight in driveable condition for each layout can be found in the technical data shown in our sales documents. As a manufacturer, we endeavour to restrict weight fluctuations to the minimum that is unavoidable in terms of production technology. Deviations above and below within the legally permissible tolerance range therefore only occur very rarely. However, in spite of constant technical optimization of the production process, these cannot be completely avoided. In order to ensure that all of the vehicles which are actually delivered comply with the legally permissible tolerance, the actual weight of the vehicle and compliance with the permissible tolerance of ± 5% is checked by us as the manufacturer by weighing the vehicle upon completion in the production area at the end of the production line. Your dealer will inform you of the actual weight of your vehicle that was measured at the end of the production line. This gives you full transparency about any weight discrepancies that may be present in your vehicle. 3. NUMBER OF MAXIMUM PERMITTED SEATS / WEIGHT OF PASSENGERS The maximum number of permitted seats while driving is determined by us as the manufacturer during the type approval procedure. The weight of the passengers results from the maximum number of permitted seats. The weight of the passengers is a flat rate of 75 kg for each approved seat which we as the manufacturer have provided for the vehicle, regardless of what the passengers actually weigh. This is also a legally prescribed calculation. Since the weight of the driver is already included in the weight in driveable condition, i.e. 75 kg (see section 2.), this is not taken into consideration in the weight of the passengers. In a motorhome with four approved seats, the weight of the passengers is 3x75 kg = 225 kg. The specification of the maximum number of permitted seats in the sales documents refers to the respective vehicle weight in the standard condition without additional equipment (see section 4 for additional equipment) and reflects the maximum possible number of people who can be seated whilst driving. However, the number of seats depends on the weight and the axle load. It can therefore be reduced by installing additional equipment (e.g. by selecting equipment packages, special equipment and options) or, depending on the model, it can only be achieved by increasing the permissible gross weight and/or by omitting additional equipment. 4. ACTUAL WEIGHT AND ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT The weight in driveable condition (see section 2.) and the weight of the factory-installed additional equipment (equipment packages, special equipment, options) in a specific vehicle are collectively referred to as the actual weight of the vehicle. You can find information about the actual weight of your vehicle after it has been handed over in section 13.2 of the Certificate of Conformity (CoC), which will be given to you by your dealer when the handover takes place. Please note that the actual weight specified in the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is also a standardised value. Since there is a legally permissible tolerance of ± 5% for the weight in driveable condition – as an element of the actual weight (see section 2.), the actual weight can deviate accordingly from the specified nominal value accordingly.
