ADAC has published research on how to increase the permissible gross weight of motorhomes. The report covers technical options (reinforced chassis, air suspension), costs (from €2,000 for retrofitting by a specialist, €3,000–7,500 for factory-installed heavy chassis), and consequences: higher vehicle tax, annual inspections for vehicles over 6 years old, lower speed limits, and potentially higher tolls.
