Definition of Masses for Motor homes
Throughout Europe, EU Guideline 92/21/EWG is applicable for
calculating the masses (weights) and resulting loads for motor
homes. The terms and basis used for calculations are
explained below.
1. Technically permissible overall mass
Information regarding the technically permissible maximum
weight is based on Hobby Wohnwagenwerk's specification in
cooperation with the manufacturers of the previous construc-
tion stages (FORD). This weight was determined in detailed
calculations and tests. It is specified in the basic approvals
and, for safety reasons, it must not be exceeded under any
circumstances.
2. Mass when the vehicle is ready to start
The mass when the vehicle is ready to start corresponds to the
mass of the empty vehicle including lubricants, tools, spare
tyre (and/or repair kit), petrol (100 %), booster battery, all of the
standard equipment mounted by the factory as well as 75 kg
for the driver, plus basic equipment (gas, water, electric).
3. Basic Equipment
The basic equipment includes the masses for the fresh water
and gas storage containers, which have been filled to 90 %
of their total capacity. The masses for the individual models
are calculated in detail as follows:
