Driving a motorhome

You need the right licence to drive a motorhome or campervan, and your vehicle needs to be within UK size limits.

Licence requirements

The licence you need to drive a motorhome depends on your age and the vehicle’s maximum authorised mass (MAM). This is the vehicle’s weight plus the maximum load it can carry.

To drive a motorhome with a MAM of between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes, you need a category C1 licence.

To drive a motorhome with a MAM of over 7.5 tonnes, you need a category C licence.

Check which vehicles you can drive and the licence and age requirements for towing.

Licence requirements may be different in Northern Ireland.

Driving a larger motorhome or even an American RV needs additional skills and experience. You will also need an entirely different driving licence to use one.

To own an expensive leisure vehicle like a Camper or Motorhome is usually something that can take time and the financial means, so may take you driving into your 60’s and 70’s.
