 FAQ: Securing loads in motorhomes, caravans and trailers
 What legal regulations apply to securing loads in motorhomes and caravans?
 According to §22 and §23 of the German Road Traffic Act (StVO) and §412 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), the load must be secured so that it cannot slip, tip over, roll, or fall out during emergency braking or evasive maneuvers . Overloading, missing lashing points, or unsecured furniture can result in fines and increase the risk of accidents. For certain registrations (from October 1999 onward), seat belts are also mandatory for the rear seats of camper vans.
 What are typical tools for securing loads in motorhomes and trailers?
 The most important accessories include tensioning straps, lashing eyes, anti-slip mats, nets, and organizer boxes . Fixed lashing points and telescopic rods increase security in storage compartments, rear garages, and cargo areas. For loose camping furniture, bicycles, or sports equipment, stable lashing options are just as important as edge protectors and dividers.
 How to safely store small and large items?
 Heavy items such as grills, drinks, tools, or supplies should be stowed as low and centrally as possible, i.e., above the vehicle's axle, and secured there with lashing straps or nets. Lighter items and clothing should go in upper cabinets or the rear compartment. Individual items such as tables, chairs, and parasols should be secured with straps or modular securing systems to prevent them from slipping or falling over when cornering.
 What special considerations should be made when transporting on a trailer?
 Always distribute loads symmetrically along the longitudinal axis and keep the center of gravity as low as possible. Place heavy loads at the bottom and light loads at the top. Secure the load with sufficient tensioning straps, observing the maximum lashing forces and towing capacity . On long journeys, retighten regularly and check the condition of all securing devices.
 Do I have to accept a police cargo inspection of my motorhome or caravan?
 Yes, according to Section 22 of the German Road Traffic Act (StVO), the police can check the security at any time – even in the cargo area, storage compartment, or cupboards . Violations are punished with warnings, fines, or points, depending on the risk.
