Why buy a motorhome over 3500kg?

A motorhome with a larger weight is more likely to have an increased amount of space available for the manufacturers to fit in all of the features you require, without compromising on space. This means more comfort, more convenience and more luxury. Motorhomes over 3,500kg can be driven on a UK driving licence, though you must take additional tests (theory, practical and medical) and acquire the higher classification C1. Once you’d done that and got behind the wheel of your new 3500kg-plus motorhome, there’s a lifetime of luxury ahead.

About Motorhomes above 3500kg

Manufacturers of motorhomes above 3500kg tend to have more space to work with when they’re putting together the layouts, which potentially leads to different choices designed to truly make the most of space and essential features. Interiors tend to be extremely well-thought out, with ‘function areas’ such as well-kitted kitchens and washrooms providing a very comfortable experience. Bedrooms and social spaces are more comfortable and there are plenty of ‘mod cons’ such as heating and hot water systems plus entertainment equipment.

Motorhomes above 3500kg will have layouts and styles, dependent on the model you choose. The larger coachbuilt models will provide an excellent living experience, but the A-class will be a cut above. Luxury is paramount, with the best materials and best finished used in very cleverly crafted spaces. Generally, motorhomes over 3,500kg are not quite as fuel efficient than their lighter counterparts, so it is always worth factoring in some ongoing financials when you are making your choice.

Did you know?

Motorhomes weighing over 3,500kg often benefit from higher payload allowances, meaning you can bring more home comforts, bikes, sports gear or even luxury extras without worrying about exceeding weight limits.

Frequently asked questions

Who are motorhomes over 3500kg suitable for?

Motorhomes weighing more than 3500kg are often much larger than the more compact coachbuilt models, and therefore offer a much better option for those travellers who want to enjoy some serious on the road luxury. A-class motorhomes, for example, are a cut above. Check out the stock at Dicksons and see how a heavier motorhome could increase the quality of your experience.

Are most motorhomes over 3500kg?

Most motorhomes are, we believe, under 3500kg and can therefore be driven on a standard UK driving licence. However, vehicles which sit above this weight are more geared towards connoisseurs of the lifestyle – people who have experienced motorhome living before and want to take it to its ultimate luxury conclusion. Once they have achieved C1 (see the FAQ below) then larger, weightier, motorhomes are also perfect for travellers who are likely to be out on the road for extended periods of time. They are well-equipped and spacious enough to support happy road-life for months or even years!

Do I need a special licence to drive a motorhome over 3,500kg?

Yes. In the UK, you’ll need to hold a Category C1 licence, which requires a medical check, theory and practical test. Once obtained, it allows you to drive vehicles up to 7,500kg.

Are over-3.5t motorhomes harder to drive?

They are larger, but most come equipped with driver aids such as power steering, reversing cameras, cruise control and parking sensors. With a little practice, many owners find them surprisingly straightforward to handle.

Will insurance or road tax cost more for heavier motorhomes?

In some cases, yes—insurance premiums and tax bands can be slightly higher. However, the difference is often modest compared with the overall investment in a premium motorhome.
