Chas Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have just been informed by my local garage, and confirmed on a couple of government sites, that as from 1 Jan 2008 the visit complementaire is no longer required for camping car of less than 3.5T. [:D] It may also be of interest that this also applies to hearses and handicapped vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer1150 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks SD,I'm still very much a debutante with the language (trying hard mind you...) and can't follow the official version yet.Are we talking about the annual re-visit for emission checks - and if so does that mean I'm OK with our 2,800kg-ish Hymer/Fiat, even though the windscreen sticker implies that I need an annual check?

Sunday Driver Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yes, the visite complimentaire is the intermediate annual emissions check. Your van is under the 3,500kg limit so you no longer need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
