EU allows category B licence holders to drive heavier motorhomes

NOVOSTI SRP

A new EU directive (2025/2205) permits category B licence holders to drive motorhomes with a maximum mass of up to 4,250 kg, and up to 5,000 kg when combined with a trailer. Additional training or a separate test will be required, and the right will be marked with code 96.02. The standard 3,500 kg limit remains, but the extension provides a 750 kg margin for heavier models.

The Florence Chamber of Commerce has adopted a standard contract for the sale of new motorhomes. The initiative, prompted by the National Camperists Coordination Association (A.N.C.C.), aims to ensure greater transparency and good faith in dealings between professional dealers and buyers. The contract includes a conciliation clause for the rapid resolution of disputes and received a positive opinion from the Market Regulation Commission.

The Deliberative Council of San Antonio Oeste has presented an ordinance to regulate the use of motorhomes on coastal beaches ahead of the 2025/26 summer season. The regulation establishes parking rules, prohibits the discharge of grey or black water, and introduces a fee for using public space. The executive branch is authorized to designate permitted parking areas and set up wastewater disposal points.

Nikola Borić and Zorana sold their house and land in Papuk and have lived in a camper without a permanent address for 100 days. Borić claims their overall costs have roughly halved: electricity, water and utility bills are gone, while fuel and food have become more expensive. During their travels they have not paid for a single campsite and have met people of various generations who chose a similar lifestyle.

New EU Directive 2025/2205 permits category B licence holders to drive motorhomes with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3,500 kg but not exceeding 4,250 kg. Additional training or a special exam, or both, will be required. The new right will be marked with code 96.02. When combined with a trailer, the total authorised mass may reach 5,000 kg.

Campers who have stayed for years on the peninsula near Apatin propose a systematic redevelopment: more waste containers and clear conditions for camper trailers to remain. About one hundred camper trailers are currently on the peninsula, with roughly 30% of owners from Apatin and the rest from Sombor, Subotica and other parts of Vojvodina. According to Zoran Knežević, a single container at the entrance is insufficient, and parts of the area are not regularly maintained. Proposed solutions include sand refilling to raise the terrain, a central path from "Plava Ruža" to the tip, and division into plots with mandatory maintenance; campers say they are willing to pay a fee, lease or bid for space if clear rules are established. The 29-hectare peninsula is owned by the Provincial Government, while "Vojvodinašume" manages only the forest, not the land.
