German police weigh motorhomes before holiday season
Original source: radiolippe.de

In Brief

Free weighing actions for motorhomes and caravans are held in Lippe and Emsland. The aim is to check weight and improve safety.

Ahead of the holiday season, police in two German regions are holding weighing actions for motorhomes and caravans.

In the Lippe region (North Rhine-Westphalia), the action takes place today and tomorrow in Detmold. According to police, Lippe has 5251 registered motorhomes — more than any other district in East Westphalia-Lippe. The check verifies whether the total vehicle weight exceeds the limit allowed for the driver's license category. No fines are planned; the action is preventive.

In the Emsland region and the county of Bentheim, free weighing will take place on 3 July 2026 in Meppen and on 4 July 2026 in Nordhorn. Drivers can check actual weight, axle and nose loads, as well as undergo a technical inspection and receive recommendations for a safe trip.
