Denition of Masses for Motor homes
Throughout Europe, EU Guideline 92/21/EWG is applicable for
calculating the masses (weights) and resulting loads for motor
homes. The terms and basis used for calculations are
explained below.
1. Technically permissible overall mass
The technically permissible maximum weight has been deter-
mined according to the specications made by the Hobby
camper manufacturer in connection with the manufacturer of
the previous construction stages (FIAT). This weight was de-
termined in detailed calculations and tests. It is specied in
the basic approvals and, for safety reasons, it must not be
exceeded under any circumstances.
2. Mass when the vehicle is ready to start
The mass when the vehicle is ready to start corresponds to the
mass of the empty vehicle including lubricants, tools, repair
kit, petrol (100 %), booster battery, all of the standard equip-
ment mounted by the factory as well as 75 kg for the driver,
plus basic equipment (gas, water, electric).
3. Basic Equipment
The basic equipment includes the masses for the fresh water
and gas storage containers, which have been lled to 90 %
of their total capacity. The masses for the individual models
are calculated in detail as follows:
