Motorhomes come in a range of sizes, so it’s important your driving licence covers the category your vehicle falls into.
This is worked out by looking at the vehicle’s maximum authorised mass (MAM), which is the vehicle’s weight plus the maximum load it can carry:
If the MAM is 3.5-7.5 tonnes, you need a category C1 licence
If the MAM is 7.5 tonnes and over, you need a category C licence
If you passed your test since 1 January 1997, a standard driving licence covers categories B and B1. This means you can drive a vehicle weighing up to 3.5 tonnes and tow a trailer of up to 0.75 tonnes behind it.
