Now the vehicles have to undergo a separate gas test independent of the HU is carried out. How long the intervals between the regular checks are is not yet clear at this point in time. However, a gas test is still recommended every two years. Camper owners can no longer have everything checked in one check-up. However, the separate gas test also has the advantage that the overall costs are likely to be reduced because it can be offered by more specialist workshops.
