Frequently Asked Questions
1. What medical assessment is required to drive a motorhome over 3.5 tonnes?
Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes typically require a C1 licence, and that means a D4-style medical, which includes checks on vision, blood pressure, and general health.
2. How often do I need to renew the medical for my motorhome licence?
If you held your driving licence before a certain date or under “grandfather rights,” renewal may be due every few years; otherwise, DVLA medical rules such as age-based renewals apply.
3. What should I bring to my motorhome medical appointment?
Bring a valid photo ID, your DVLA medical form, a list of all medications you take, any relevant medical reports, and your glasses or contact lenses plus prescription if applicable.
4. Can I do the motorhome medical if I take long-term medication?
