Anyone with a full UK driving licence can drive a motorhome up to 3.5 tonnes (3,500kg). In order to drive a motorhome over 3.5 tonnes, the driver must have passed their test before 1st January 1997 and is, therefore, able to drive a vehicle up to 7.5 tonnes (7,500kg). If the driver passed their test after 1st January 1997, a special test would need to be taken to enable them to drive this weight of motorhome – the same applies to anyone wishing to drive a vehicle over 7.5 tonnes.
