Speed limits for motorhomes in Europe depend on the permissible maximum mass on the registration
Original source: TopGear

In Germany, on Autobahn sections without a posted speed limit, a motorhome with a permissible maximum mass of up to 3,500 kg can drive without an upper limit, essentially like a passenger car. For motorhomes over 3,500 kg, the limit on the Autobahn is 100 km/h. In France, Italy, Croatia, Austria, Slovenia, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and the Netherlands, light motorhomes (up to 3,500 kg) are subject to the same limits as passenger cars, while heavier ones face lower limits. In the Netherlands, the registration type also matters: a motorhome registered as a commercial vehicle over 3,500 kg is limited to 80 km/h outside built-up areas.
