Questions Learners Have About Caravans & Motorhomes

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Caravans & Motorhomes, including how questions match the official theory exam in Switzerland, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What licence category do I need to drive a caravan in Switzerland?

For a standard car (Category B) towing a trailer, if the trailer's maximum permissible weight exceeds 750 kg, the total combined weight of the car and trailer must not exceed 3,500 kg. If the total combined weight exceeds 3,500 kg, you typically need a Category BE or C1E licence, depending on the weights.

Is a motorway vignette required for caravans and motorhomes in Switzerland?

Yes, if your caravan or motorhome (up to 3.5 tonnes) uses Swiss motorways and expressways, you need a separate motorway vignette for both the towing vehicle and the trailer/motorhome itself. Heavy vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are subject to a special heavy vehicle charge instead of a vignette.

What is the speed limit for vehicles towing trailers on Swiss motorways?

When towing a trailer with your car or delivery vehicle on Swiss motorways, the maximum permissible speed limit is 100 km/h. This applies only if the trailer weighs up to 3.5 tonnes and both the trailer and the towing vehicle (including its tyres) are approved for this speed limit.

How should I adapt my driving when encountering strong crosswinds with a motorhome or caravan?

When driving a motorhome or caravan, strong crosswinds can significantly affect stability. Reduce your speed, maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel, and be prepared for sudden lateral movements. Increase your distance from other vehicles to allow more reaction time.

What are the most important pre-departure checks for a caravan or motorhome?

Essential pre-departure checks include verifying correct tyre pressure and condition for both vehicle and trailer, ensuring all lights are functioning, securing all loads inside and on top of the vehicle, checking fluid levels, and confirming the hitch mechanism and breakaway cable are correctly attached and in good order.
