The European Commission has proposed allowing member states to exempt private motorhomes over 7.5 tonnes from tachograph and driving time rules. The exemption applies only to vehicles used for non-commercial purposes and must be recognized by each individual member state. This move aims to clarify legal uncertainty that arose after a 2021 European Court of Justice ruling.
The increasing number of novice motorhome users in the Netherlands raises the risk of technical and logistical errors. Key issues include incorrect weight distribution, neglecting to monitor fluids and electricity, violating local parking rules, forgetting leveling blocks, and unrealistic distance planning. These mistakes can result in damage, fines, and equipment failure.
Motorhome and caravan owners face increasing logistical hurdles. Key issues include multi-year waiting lists for winter storage due to a record number of registered vehicles, bans on older diesel motorhomes entering urban zero-emission zones, and hidden ownership costs that significantly increase the total expense.
A German couple heading to France saw their trip end when their caravan detached and slid into a ditch in Vrouwenpolder. The driver forgot the safety cable.
According to calculations, owning a motorhome costs an average of 9,000 euros per year, excluding depreciation. This includes vehicle tax, insurance, maintenance, storage, and fuel. For example, for a 2019 diesel motorhome weighing 2,780 kg and valued at 50,000 euros, used 7 months a year, the annual tax amounts to 1,262 euros. The average price of a new motorhome exceeds 70,000 euros, while a used one ranges from 15,000 to 30,000 euros.
On Monday afternoon, a caravan that detached from its towing vehicle on a bend ended up in a ditch along Kerkweg in Lekkerkerk, near hotel-restaurant De Witte Brug. A small recovery vehicle and a truck from a contracting company were used to pull the caravan out of the water, a process that took about two hours. No injuries were reported, and the exact cause remains unknown.
