114. Recreational vehicle
A recreational vehicle (RV) is a vehicle designed or adapted for travel, recreation and temporary living accommodation. The term can include motorhomes, campervans and, in broader usage, towable caravans or camping trailers.
Recreational vehicles may contain sleeping, seating, cooking, storage and sanitary facilities. Their legal classification, driving-licence requirements, parking rules and permitted dimensions or weights vary between countries.

How are recreational vehicles treated in Belgium?
Belgian rules recognise vehicles such as motorhomes or campervans as specific vehicle types. The applicable registration, technical and driving-licence requirements depend on the particular vehicle and its maximum authorised mass.
Can you drive a motorhome with a category B licence in Belgium?
Yes, if it falls within category B limits. A category B licence generally covers a motorhome with a maximum authorised mass of no more than 3500 kg and no more than eight passenger seats in addition to the driver's seat.
Which licence is needed for a heavier motorhome in Belgium?
A motorhome exceeding 3500 kg generally requires a C1 or C licence, depending on its maximum authorised mass and the applicable licence conditions.
