Free safety checks for motorhome and caravan owners at new campaign
A new safety campaign is offering free advice to motorhome and caravan owners. The event aims to help drivers avoid accidents and travel safely. Experts will be on hand to check vehicles and provide practical tips on secure loading and road safety. On the day, TÜV Rheinland staff will inspect vehicles and explain technical requirements. They will also demonstrate blind spots, turning manoeuvres, and braking distances. Drivers can learn about fatigue risks, distractions, and the importance of carrying first aid kits.
Caravans and motorhomes can be weighed on special scales to check for overloading. While penalties usually apply for exceeding weight limits, no fines will be issued during the campaign. Owners will also receive guidance on securing loads, avoiding gaps, and safely transporting gas cylinders. The event will clarify legal rules, including the maximum 3.5-ton weight limit for vehicles under a standard class B licence. Overloading can lead to fines and penalty points in Flensburg, so experts will help drivers stay within the law.
The campaign provides a chance for drivers to check their vehicles and get professional advice. Free weigh-ins and safety demonstrations will help prevent accidents and ensure compliance with regulations. Organisers hope the event will encourage safer travel for motorhome and caravan users.
