About No EB License Required
Light trailers are at home on any of SA's main highways. N1, N2, N3, N4, all fine. But don't think lightweight means tar-only. Plenty of these sub-750kg trail campers are built for gravel and 4x4 tracks. Pilanesberg, the KZN Midlands, Garden Route, Magaliesberg, and coastal camps along both Capes are all popular with Code B campers. Just check the listing for the exact GVM and what tow vehicle you'll need.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the license rule for towing a caravan in South Africa?
- Simple: under 750kg, Code B is fine. Over 750kg, you need a Code EB. The trailer's GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) is stamped on the number plate and in the registration papers.
- How do I know if I need an EB license for a specific camper on Kampi?
- Each listing shows it right on the page. Or just use the 'No EB License' filter when searching, it'll show you only the campers you can tow on a Code B.
- Are lightweight campers less comfortable?
- Not at all. A lot of popup trailers and tent trailers have proper beds, full kitchen gear, and outdoor awnings. You trade size for towability, and honestly, they're usually faster to set up than a big caravan.
- Can I tow a lightweight camper with a standard passenger car?
- Yes, as long as your car can handle the weight. Check the towing capacity in your owner's manual. Most SUVs and bakkies do 750kg+ without blinking. The listing will say what tow vehicle the owner recommends.
