Mandatory gas system check for motorhomes and caravans from June 2025
Original source: Wochenblatt Reporter

In Brief

From mid-June 2025, owners of motorhomes and caravans with gas installations must undergo a G607 check every two years. Missing it can result in a fine of 15 to 80 euros.

From mid-June 2025, owners of motorhomes and caravans with gas installations are required to have a G607 check. The first inspection is due upon initial commissioning, then every two years, and also after any repair or technical modification.

Failure to have the check can lead to a fine of 15 to 80 euros and increases the risk of gas leaks and fires. The procedure takes 20–45 minutes and costs 40 to 80 euros. It can be carried out by TÜV, Dekra, KÜS, GTÜ, and many workshops. Owners are also advised to regularly check the condition of gas hoses and regulators, which should be replaced every 10 years.
