This is a posting from Caravan Salon Düsseldorf's Facebook page, does any member have any information about these ANGLES MORTS?

For those who want to go to France: The expert organization K ÜS points out that since this year all vehicles over 3,5 tonnes with warnings ′′ dead angle ′′ (′′ Attention! Angles Morts ′′) must be equipped. This requirement also applies to vehicles not registered in France. Anyone who drives and gets caught without these stickers has to expect a fine of 135 euros. !!️

So is there any update from the club on this issue, I see trucks of all nationalities coming into Newhaven port some have them some don't and come June 21 when the possible exodus across the channel may happen it would be nice to get a proper answer, my van is 3650 so according to French Law i would need them but as someone said earlier what is the difference between a 3500 and a 3650 van i could get mine downplated, and do you need them in all other EU countries or just france

Have you checked the Overseas Holiday info tab for updates? You could also try contacting the club directly as someone may not spot your forum post.

With the prospect of hopefully being able to travel to France before the end of 2021, I have been thinking how I can attach these ugly self-adhesive signs to the aluminium surfaces of my MH so that they can be removed when not required.

I have found these gripper mats but I don't know if they will successfully attach a laminated sign rather than a magnetic one or, indeed, if they would actually work at all.  They are also not cheap !

Does anyone have a suggestions ?

OH said could be difficult as you have aluminium sides he has asked do you have steel doors? another idea is number plate sticky pads and if the signs are mounted on something fairly stiff and waterproof possibly a pieces of thin perspex with the sticky pads on the back of it and maybe easier to get it off.  We have seen HGV's and some MH's with them on but just stuck on agree they are ugly.

Thanks for the reply, RedKite.  My MH is a Dethleffs Advantage A Class, so only has one "cab" door + a hab door.  They're both aluminium like the rest of the bodywork (apart from grp trims).

I have considered various sticky pads and sticky velcro but really wanted something which can be removed easily when transiting between France and other EU countries and, of course, to/from the UK.

The search continues .......

OH has been looking up information for different motoring regs on the government website as has found the stickers do not apply to motorhomes upto 3.5 tonnes but will be needed if heavier and if put in the wrong place the owner will have 12 months to put them in the right place.

Not as far as I can understand.

If the towing vehicle weighs more than the 3.5t then it needs the stickers as would the trailer if having one, but it is only the towing vehicle weight where this ruling applies.
