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.
6. The correct drawbar load gives you more
safety:
Please refer to page 02-5 for the
recommended drawbar load.
Definition of masses (weights) for
campers
The EG regulation 97/27/EG applies for calcula-
ting the masses (weights) and for the loading
which results from these calculations. The EG
regulations correspnd to a great extent to the
norm DIN EN 1645-2. The terms and basic
calculation elements used in this description are
explained in the following:
1. Gross vehicle weight rating (g.v.w.r.)
The indication of the gross vehicle weight rating
is taken directly from the HOBBY factory. These
weights were calculated as a result of lengthy
and detailed experiments; for safety reasons,
they may not be exceeded.
