Argentina

A class C license is required for motorhomes with a total mass exceeding 3500 kg. The process includes a theoretical course, an exam, and a practical test. For vehicles under 3500 kg, a class B license is sufficient. If registered as a bus, professional class D licenses may be required.

Germany

Category B allows driving motorhomes up to 3.5 tons, while heavier ones (up to 7.5 tons) require category C1. From October 2025, new EU rules will permit drivers with category B to operate vehicles up to 4.25 tons after additional training.

Motorhome Driving License: Which License for Which Camping Vehicle

The required driving license category for a motorhome or caravan depends on its permissible total weight. For vehicles up to 3.5 tons, a category B license is sufficient, but an EU reform planned for 2028 will expand this category to 4.25 tons subject to additional training. Special rules apply for drivers who obtained their license before 1999, including the ability to drive motorhomes up to 7.5 tons.

Traffic fines and rules for motorhomes in Germany

In Germany, general traffic rules apply to motorhomes, but fines vary based on the vehicle's weight. For instance, speeding 50 km/h over the limit in a built-up area with a motorhome under 3.5 tons can result in a 400 euro fine, two penalty points, and a one-month driving ban. For motorhomes over 3.5 tons, the same offense may cost 560 euros.
