FAQ

You don’t always need a BE-driving license to drive a trailer or caravan. Like:

• The trailers mass total (mass empthy vehicle + load capacity) not more then 750 KG, or
• The trailer is allowed to weigh more than 750 kg The condition is that the maximum authorized mass of the total combination (pulling vehicle pus trailer) does not exceed 3500 kg.

driver’s license B is sufficient.

For combinations of vehicles consisting of a pulling vehicle of category B (maximum 3500 kg) and a trailer or semi-trailer, where:

1. The permitted maximum mass of the trailer or semi-trailer may be up to 3500 kg, or
2. The permitted maximum mass of the semi-trailer may be up to 3500kg, if:

• The maximum authorized load on the coupling of the semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer may not exceed the difference between the towing vehicle’s maximum permissible mass and its mass in running condition, and
• The maximum authorized axle load, or the combined axle loads, of the semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer must not be more than 3500 kg.

you need driver’s license BE.

Of course, always take into account the maximum towing weight on the license plate of the towing vehicle. (maximum mass braked)

If so, you must have your registration certificate modified by the RDW. Depending on the change in the maximum authorized mass, this can be done in writing using a form or you must have your vehicle inspected by the RDW.

If you have a box trailer with 15 mm ABS walls (and roof), 25 or 40 mm polyester walls, then you can have it properly stickered. As long as the stickers are placed on a smooth surface. Rough walls unfortunately cannot/can’t be stickered because of the relief.

Note! We do not recommend using dark colored stickers. This is because these attract and retain heat, allowing air bubbles to form under the stickers.

Unfortunately, not every vehicle functions with our LED lighting. This has to do with the CAMBUS, the part that controls whether the lights are working. This component works differently for each vehicle because it is not standardized. Therefore, LED lights may vary by car make, model and year. We therefore recommend testing it first at one of our HAPERT Dealers.
