Frequently Asked Questions About Campervans Under 3500kg

Yes, in the UK, you can drive a campervan that weighs up to 3,500 kilograms (kg) with a standard car licence (category B). This includes most campervans and motorhomes

The laden weight, also known as the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) or Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM), of a campervan refers to the total weight of the vehicle when it is fully loaded. This includes the weight of the campervan itself, along with all passengers, fuel, water, luggage, and any other contents or accessories.

In the context of a 3,500kg specification, this figure represents the maximum laden weight the campervan is legally allowed to have. So, if a campervan is specified as having a 3,500kg MAM, it means the total weight of the vehicle and all its contents must not exceed 3,500kg when it is fully loaded. This is a crucial factor for driving licence requirements, as a standard UK car licence (category B) allows you to drive vehicles up to 3,500kg MAM.
