Log ontoOff to France soon in 4.5 ton MoHo do I need a Crit Air and how do I apply. Can only find one for less than 3.5 ton??
Thanks
Good point I've just got a tag. And are over 3.5 ton and tag axle. I think I'll leave it for this trip.Does anyone else think like me that you are giving the French government your home address for speeding and other traffic fines? Also, you are giving your vehicle weight on the V5, there are many of us who are using their motorway toll tags to get class 2 tolls on the motorways when you are over 3.5T!!!

The French authorities can already get your details from the DVLA, so no change there.Does anyone else think like me that you are giving the French government your home address for speeding and other traffic fines?

Try thisWe scanned the inner pages our V5 in colour, which comes out at 687KBs, which is too large to transmit, We are hoping that if we scan it again in Black & White the file size will reduce.???
We are fed up trying to compress the PDF file on Adobe to 400KB as we are getting no where!!
Any advice would be great on how to reduce the file size, or how did you mange etc
Thanks

When compared to the cost of a motorhome the difference between class 2 and class 3 Tolls is minor, and there is always the opportunity to use Routes Nationals as an alternative.
My personal crib is why do they charge extra for high vehicles? They don’t take up any more room than lower vehicles. Only airspace.In my experience the difference is quite a lot
For example I've just put in Calais to Abbeville; classe 2 is 12 euros and classe 3 is 18 euros.
I don't go out to break the law but some of these toll setups are not particularly well applied to motorhomes. As an example if you have an 18tonne RV its classe 3 whereas a 4.5 tonne tag is classe 4.
Even our own M6 toll you pay the same as an artic.
I do think its about time they started a Motorhome classe, its on the V5s

We are 5t+ and a tag but just below 3m high. Last year when in France I made Mrs Cornish Boy hang out the window and pay for the tolls (I did let her back in when we were moving!).
Without fail, we were charged as Class2 on all automatic and manned toll booths without us asking for it.

LHD is sooooo much easier. Especially when Sue managed to insert the card into a gap in the casing of the machine instead of the card slot a few years ago, Boy did that cause some consternation!!!
