Chassis<br />
<strong>Chapter</strong> 3: Chassis<br />
3.1 Chassis<br />
The chassis includes parts of the frame and the axles. No<br />
technical changes may be made, as otherwise the general type<br />
approval will expire!<br />
3.2 Loading<br />
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:
