    For information (in French), try this link

    Gargoyle translate will probably be good enough if you need it.

    Have you checked the Overseas Holiday info tab for updates? You could also try contacting the club directly as someone may not spot your forum post.

    With the prospect of hopefully being able to travel to France before the end of 2021, I have been thinking how I can attach these ugly self-adhesive signs to the aluminium surfaces of my MH so that they can be removed when not required.

    I have found these gripper mats but I don't know if they will successfully attach a laminated sign rather than a magnetic one or, indeed, if they would actually work at all.  They are also not cheap !

    Does anyone have a suggestions ?

    OH said could be difficult as you have aluminium sides he has asked do you have steel doors? another idea is number plate sticky pads and if the signs are mounted on something fairly stiff and waterproof possibly a pieces of thin perspex with the sticky pads on the back of it and maybe easier to get it off.  We have seen HGV's and some MH's with them on but just stuck on agree they are ugly.

    Thanks for the reply, RedKite.  My MH is a Dethleffs Advantage A Class, so only has one "cab" door + a hab door.  They're both aluminium like the rest of the bodywork (apart from grp trims).

    I have considered various sticky pads and sticky velcro but really wanted something which can be removed easily when transiting between France and other EU countries and, of course, to/from the UK.

    The search continues .......

    OH has been looking up information for different motoring regs on the government website as has found the stickers do not apply to motorhomes upto 3.5 tonnes but will be needed if heavier and if put in the wrong place the owner will have 12 months to put them in the right place.

    Not as far as I can understand.

    If the towing vehicle weighs more than the 3.5t then it needs the stickers as would the trailer if having one, but it is only the towing vehicle weight where this ruling applies.

    That's right. It applies separately to each vehicle and a car towing a caravan is two vehicles.

    I'm sorry I missed your post as I rarely look under the Parts & Accessories heading. The link that you supplied didn't help much, either, as it opens up a page showing spring assisters.

    I think that your question relates to the Multicon plug. I had a Multicon system on the very first caravan that I had in the early 90's, but I was never really happy with it. It was susceptible to poor connections. To my mind it's a poor compromise.

    Thanks Lutz ..... ooops! I should have checked the link, but you found my question. It cropped elsewhere on the web & I couldn't find anything other than the current 13 pin plug/socket.

    We have a Campervan weighing under 3.5 tons. However it has been plated to 4.2. Am I correct in assuming that I do not need an angles mort sticker unless any additional load exceeds the 3.5. Tons

    My understanding is anything over 3.5 t you should display Angles Mort signs. If your vehicle is plated 4.2 t then you should display.  Easy way to confirm this is how much road tax you are paying?  (£165?)

    If it’s a Motorhome over 3.5t then this applies.  Motorhomes from any Country are specifically mentioned in the regulation.
