In Brief

ADAC warns of fines for overloaded motorhomes. In Germany, fines and points; in Belgium and Switzerland, up to €20,000 and 8 days in jail.

ADAC Nordbayern warns about overloaded motorhomes: excess weight impairs handling and increases braking distance. In Germany, exceeding the permitted weight of 3.5 tonnes results in a fine and points in Flensburg.

Most EU countries have strict rules. Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain allow a 5% tolerance; Austria and Croatia require immediate unloading. Belgium and Switzerland have the highest fines — up to €20,000 and up to 8 days in prison.

ADAC offers weighing at its test center in Fürth.
