Regulations and tips for traveling by caravan

 

You don't need a specific driving license

Contrary to what many people may think, if you want to rent and enjoy a caravan, you are not required to have a specific license for it. In fact, the driving license B for passenger cars allows you to drive a vehicle of this type, as long as the trailer does not exceed 750 kilos, the caravan does not exceed 3,500 kilos and the nine seats for the passengers.However, the ideal way to start getting used to it is making short trips before embarking on an adventure on more demanding routes. Remember that, if you exceed the figures mentioned above, in that case the mandatory driving license will be B96 or B + E.

Specifically, for caravans weighing up to 3,500 kg, the General Traffic Regulation establishes that it is not possible to exceed 90 km / h on conventional roads, while it is allowed to reach 120 km / h on highways and motorways.

 

Park the caravan where is allowed

 Another of the most common questions from our clients is related to the parking of the caravan. Fortunately, we always answer the same thing: it is possible to park the caravan wherever it is allowed by the traffic regulations.In fact, a caravan is considered to be illegally parked when any of its elements protrudes outside the perimeter of the vehicle itself.
