Motorhomes (motor caravans) fall into two main categories - category B for vehicle with a MAM up to 3,500kg and category C1 for a MAM up to 7,500kg. Many of these vehicles today are close to the 3,500kg limit and a lot are in the C1 category.
C1 was intended as a licence category for commercial vehicles, or small lorries. Motorhomes have fallen into this category be default because their MAM has gone above 3,500kg.
