5. Free interchangeability of base vehicle and caravan:
Dierent caravans may be combined with dierent 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 chapter 3.3.2 for the recommended
drawbar load.
• Tighten the nuts on the wheels after driving the
rst 50 km with your camper.
Fit for a Speed of 60 mph
1. Your HOBBY caravan is technically equipped for a
maximum speed of 60 mph. 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 trac regulations in Germany were changed on 22
October 2005. Your caravan was already set to a speed
of 100 at the factory, and this has been entered in the
caravan's registration documents. Upon request, the 60
mph sticker will be issued by the road trac authority
when the caravan 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 caravan is 50 mph!
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 caravan must be equipped with hydraulic
vibration dampers (shock absorbers); naturally, your
new HOBBY caravan is equipped with these.
c) The caravan's tires may be no more than six years old.
They must be marked at least with an L (= 75 mph) for
the appropriate speed category.
d) The caravan must be equipped with a stabilising
unit in accordance with ISO 11555-1.
The overall mass of the caravan may not exceed
the unladen mass of the car.
