Travelling into the EU with your OPUS Camper

As of 26th August 2025, there are new rules that apply to those towing any trailer (including caravans or trailer campers) that weigh more than 750kg through most countries in the European Union.

Owners planning on taking their OPUS Camper to the EU must register with the DVLA in advance of their trip to obtain a registration certificate and trailer-specific number plate.

See our handy links below for more information on the legal requirements and what you need to do before travelling.
