A couple from Dorset bought a motorhome for €25,500, only to discover two days later that its permissible gross weight of 3,850 kg exceeds the limit for a standard driving license (3,500 kg). The dealer agreed to take it back but withheld €3,450, sparking a consumer rights dispute. A consumer rights expert stated the dealer may have violated the law by failing to disclose the weight issue, knowing the buyers only had a standard license. In the Netherlands and the UK, similar rules apply: driving a motorhome over 3,500 kg requires a C1 license.
