Technical changes may only be carried out after being<br />

released by the manufacturer.<br />

For further information, please refer to the enclosed operating<br />

instructions for the basic vehicle.<br />

The maximum axle loads as well as the technically permissible<br />

overall mass entered in the vehicle‘s documents may<br />

not be exceeded.<br />

Weights of motor homes in accordance with 92/21/EWG<br />

Please refer to the de.nition of masses for motor homes!<br />

De.nition of Masses for Motor homes<br />

Throughout Europe, EU Guideline 92/21/EWG is applicable for<br />

calculating the masses (weights) and resulting loads for motor<br />

homes. The terms and basis used for calculations are<br />

explained below.<br />

1. Technically permissible overall mass<br />

The figure for the technically permissible overall mass is based<br />

on information given by the <strong>Hobby</strong> Motor home Plant in cooperation<br />

with the manufacturer of the base vehicle. This mass<br />

was determined in extensive calculations and tests and, for<br />

safety reasons, it may not be exceeded under any<br />

circumstances.<br />

2. Mass when the vehicle is ready to start<br />

The mass when the vehicle is ready to start corresponds to the<br />

mass of the empty vehicle including lubricants, tools, spare<br />

tyre (and/or repair kit), petrol (100 %), booster battery, all of the<br />

standard equipment mounted by the factory as well as 75 kg<br />

for the driver, plus basic equipment (gas, water, electric).<br />

3. Basic equipment<br />

The basic equipment includes the masses for fresh water and<br />

the gas storage containers, which have been filled to 90 % of<br />

their total capacity. The masses for the individual models are<br />

calculated in detail as follows:
