	<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">~~Only if its registered GVW exceeds~~ 3.5 tonnes. Most ~~production~~ motorhomes ~~are built to the~~ 3.~~5 t limit. Check your vehicle registration document (Zulassungsbescheinigung or equivalent) for the "zul. Gesamtgewicht" figure.~~</p>		<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Not necessarily — and weight isn't the only factor. The Maut applies only to vehicles used for commercial freight transport with a technically permissible total mass (tzGm) over 3.5 tonnes. Most motorhomes, even above 3.5t, remain toll-free because they're recognizable as motorhomes rather than freight vehicles</p>

	<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I book the Maut after completing my journey?</h3>		<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I book the Maut after completing my journey?</h3>

Buses/coaches are explicitly exempt, regardless of weight.
