Fit For A Speed Of 100 Km/H - Hobby 400 SF De Luxe Manual

3.9 Fit for a Speed of 100 km/h

1. Your HOBBY camper is technically equipped for a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Under no
circumstances may this speed be exceeded!
2. Note the permissible maximum speeds for trailer carriages in the country in which you are
travelling!
3. Road traffic regulations in Germany were changed on 22 October 2005. Your camper was
already set to a speed of 100 at the factory, and this has been entered in the camper's
registration documents. Upon request, the 100 km/h sticker will be issued by the road traffic
authority when the camper is initially registered and attached to the back of the vehicle.
4. The following points must be observed, because you are responsible for adhering to them. If
they are not met, the maximum speed for the camper is no more than 80 km/h!
a) The base vehicle must be equipped with an anti-locking system/anti-lock device and may
not exceed an overall mass of 3.5 tons.
b) The camper must be equipped with hydraulic vibration dampers (shock absorbers);
naturally, your new HOBBY camper is equipped with these.
c) The camper's tires may be no more than six years old. They must be marked at least with
an L (= 120 km/h) for the appropriate speed category.
d) The camper must be equipped with a stabilising unit in accordance with ISO 11555-1
(standard in this HOBBY series since 1997).
The overall mass of the camper may not exceed the unladen mass of the car.
5. Free interchangeability of base vehicle and camper:
Different campers may be combined with different base vehicles.
You are responsible for ensuring that the preceding regulations are met if you plan to drive at
100 km/h. Should this not be the case, the maximum speed in Germany is 80 km/h!
6. The correct drawbar load gives you more safety:
Please refer to page 02-5 for the recommended drawbar load.
