Overview
- Autocaravans classified as category M are inspection‑exempt for four years, then require biennial checks until 10 years and annual tests thereafter.
- Camperized vans in category N must pass annual inspections up to 10 years of age, shifting to semiannual checks once they are older.
- In urban areas, these vehicles may stop and park under the same rules as other traffic, while municipal ordinances can cap parking times and prohibit camping under a 2018 Supreme Court interpretation.
- The instruction introduces the S‑128 sign to identify official wastewater emptying points for caravans and motorhomes.
- It also sets standards for designated reception areas for these vehicles and addresses a near‑tripling of the national fleet to about 137,000 since 2015.
