Hobby optima - Definition of Masses for Motor Homes

Chassis
03-3
EU Directive 1230/2012 applies at a European level for cal-
culating the masses and resultant additional loads for mobile
homes. The terms and basis used for calculations are
explained below.
1. Technically permissible overall mass
Information regarding the technically permissible maximum
weightisbasedonHobbyWohnwagenwerk'sspecicationin
cooperation with the manufacturers of the previous construc-
tionstages (Fiat). This mass takes into account the specic
operating conditions that are based on the model of the mobi-
le home and its performance, including such factors as mate-
rial strength, load-carrying capacity of the axles and tyres, etc.
For safety reasons, this mass must never be exceeded!
2. Mass when the vehicle is ready to start
The mass when ready to drive is equal to the weight of the empty
vehicle including lubricants, tools, spare tyre (or tyre repair kit),
petrol (100 %), ancillary battery, all of the standard equipment
installed by the factory as well as 75 kg for the driver. In addition,
the masses for the fresh water and gas storage containers, which
havebeenlledto90%oftheirtotalcapacity,mustbeadded.
The masses are calculated in detail as follows:
