Emovis tag

What difficulty do you have ?

Is the Motorhome higher than 3 metres  ?

As I said it will mostly let me on to the motorway but not off it which means I have to get assistance which causes a delay. The vehicle is 2.99 but I have an aircon unit and satellite dish.

is the tag in plain sight of the sensors?  So long as you only have 2 axles and are 3m or under you should be OK the slight bump of the aircon unit should not affect it.

Yes the tag was properly fitted it is Emovis that have advised that because the vehicle is over 3500kgs and the increase in height that is the problem. My motorhome has just 2 axles.

I had quite a bit of trouble initially with the positioning of my tag so moved it down the windscreen to about the level of the windscreen wipers in the parked position. Had no further problem. I am not sure how they would know your motorhome is over 3500kgs  as you can have identical motorhomes, one with the original configuration and another with an upgraded weight limit? Do they have weighing facilities at the toll exit?

We did have a problem the first time we used it, but that was with a car. It just kept going beep but the barrier didn't raise. OH got out and showed we had a tag to the camera and the barrier was raised. Never had a problem after that, although the charge for that section took 2 months to come through. The same tag with our MH works perfectly with it behind the mirror where they show in their diagram. However, we have very little overhang over the windscreen. I understand that can cause problems. Our MH is below 3 metres and 3.5 tonnes. Although I have never noticed any weight plates at the barriers. Don't some windscreens have a coating that stops transmission. Which is why they tell you to mount it on the black stippled bit if that is present. Our car has the stippled bit the MH doesn't.

Unless you tell them the weight they do not know as DK says above.  I think you have it in the wrong position so suggest you take it off the mount and either move down the screen or try just waving it out the window to see if it works.

It is quite possible that the French have by now fitted WIM (Weight In Motion)sensors to at least some if not all their autoroutes. These are capable of weighing both axle and gross weights.

I should have perhaps added that the reason I moved the tag was that, my then motorhome, had a slight cab overhang so if I put it near the mirror it couldn't be seen by the overhead sensors.

Perhaps it's natures way of saying avoid toll routes.
