TECHNICALLY PERMISSIBLE GROSS WEIGHT The technically permissible gross weight describes the layout-based maximum permissible weight specified by the manufacturer that your motorhome is allowed to weigh when loaded (e.g. 3,500 kg, 4,500 kg). This is entered in Part I of the registration certificate. You can find information about the technically permissible gross weight for each layout in the technical data which is shown in our sales documents (e.g. in the price lists). Illustration in the price list: The technically permissible gross weight of the vehicle (e.g. 3,500 kg) must not be exceeded under any circumstances while driving. If the vehicle exceeds the technically permissible gross weight while driving, this constitutes an administrative offence which may be punishable with a fine. We therefore urgently advise you to check this before each journey and ensure that you and your vehicle do not exceed the technically permissible gross weight (e.g. 3,500 kg). 2. WEIGHT IN DRIVEABLE CONDITION The weight in driveable condition corresponds to the (unladen) weight of the vehicle with standard factory equipment (including lubricants, tools, tyre repair kit and a fuel tank that is 90% full) plus a statutory flat-rate weight of 75 kg for the driver. The weight in driveable condition essentially includes the following items: • the unladen weight of the vehicle including the body and filling with operating materials such as lubricating grease, oils and coolants; • the standard equipment, i.e. all equipment items which are included as standard in the vehicle, • a fresh water tank that is 100% full when driving (filling when driving in accordance with the manufacturer‘s specifications. You will find the manufacturer‘s information about filling in the vehicle in the sales documents (e.g. in the price lists). This is 20 l or 50 l depending on the model series) and an aluminium gas bottle that is 100% full, weighing 16 kg; • a fuel tank that is 90% full; • the driver, whose weight is set at a flat rate of 75 kg, regardless of the driver‘s actual weight. The weight in driveable condition is therefore the basic confi- guration of the vehicle model you have selected with standard equipment plus a statutory flat-rate weight of 75 kg for the driver. This changes after selecting additional equipment (equipment packages, special equipment, options). You will find information about the weight in driveable condition for each layout in our sales documents (e.g. in the price lists). IMPORTANT LEGAL AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR THE SELECTION AND CONFIGURATION OF YOUR MOTORHOME Each motorhome is only approved for a certain maximum weight on the road, which must not be exceeded under any circumstances when driving. When you select and configure your motorhome or van (hereinafter referred to as: „the motorhome“), the technical and legal limits for the weight of the motorhome are therefore extremely important. These play a decisive part in the configuration, particularly when the additional equipment is being selected (equipment packages, special equipment and options). The technical and legal requirements for the weight of your motorhome are regulated in EU Implementing Regulation No. 2021/535 (until June 2022: EU Implementing Regulation No. 1230/2012). This applies uniformly within the European Union. In order to make it easier for you to select and configure your motorhome in compliance with the legal and technical requirements, the key terms and requirements of this regulation are explained in the following, and you are provided with some information that is extremely important when you are configuring your vehicle and selecting your additional equipment (equipment packages, special equipment and options) from the items that are available from the factory . Please read this information carefully before configuring and ordering your vehicle. Our dealers will provide you with additional assistance in selecting and configuring your motorhome.
It is important that the value given in our sales documents for the weight in driveable condition is a standard value which is determined during the type approval procedure and checked by the authorities. It is legally permissible and possible for the weight in driveable condition of the vehicle which is delivered to you to differ from the nominal value specified in the sales documents due to production-related tolerances. The legal tolerance is ± 5%. The EU legislator has taken into account the fact that there are certain fluctuations in the weight in driveable condition due to fluctuations in the weight of the supplied parts as well as process and weather-related factors. Please take this into consideration when you are selecting and configuring your motorhome. Example calculation illustrating these (permissible) production-related weight deviations: Weight in driveable condition according to sales documents: Legally permissible range of weight in driveable condition: Legal tolerance of ± 5%: 2,900 kg 2,755 to 3,045 kg 145 kg The specific range of permissible weight deviations for the weight in driveable condition for each layout can be found in the technical data shown in our sales documents. As a manufacturer, we endeavour to restrict weight fluctuations to the minimum that is unavoidable in terms of production technology. Deviations above and below within the legally permissible tolerance range therefore only occur very rarely. However, in spite of constant technical optimization of the production process, these cannot be completely avoided. In order to ensure that all of the vehicles which are actually delivered comply with the legally permissible tolerance, the actual weight of the vehicle and compliance with the permissible tolerance of ± 5% is checked by us as the manufacturer by weighing the vehicle upon completion in the production area at the end of the production line. Your dealer will inform you of the actual weight of your vehicle that was measured at the end of the production line. This gives you full transparency about any weight discrepancies that may be present in your vehicle. 3. NUMBER OF MAXIMUM PERMITTED SEATS / WEIGHT OF PASSENGERS The maximum number of permitted seats while driving is determined by us as the manufacturer during the type approval procedure. The weight of the passengers results from the maximum number of permitted seats. The weight of the passengers is a flat rate of 75 kg for each approved seat which we as the manufacturer have provided for the vehicle, regardless of what the passengers actually weigh. This is also a legally prescribed calculation. Since the weight of the driver is already included in the weight in driveable condition, i.e. 75 kg (see section 2.), this is not taken into consideration in the weight of the passengers. In a motorhome with four approved seats, the weight of the passengers is 3x75 kg = 225 kg. The specification of the maximum number of permitted seats in the sales documents refers to the respective vehicle weight in the standard condition without additional equipment (see section 4 for additional equipment) and reflects the maximum possible number of people who can be seated whilst driving. However, the number of seats depends on the weight and the axle load. It can therefore be reduced by installing additional equipment (e.g. by selecting equipment packages, special equipment and options) or, depending on the model, it can only be achieved by increasing the permissible gross weight and/or by omitting additional equipment. 4. ACTUAL WEIGHT AND ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT The weight in driveable condition (see section 2.) and the weight of the factory-installed additional equipment (equipment packages, special equipment, options) in a specific vehicle are collectively referred to as the actual weight of the vehicle. You can find information about the actual weight of your vehicle after it has been handed over in section 13.2 of the Certificate of Conformity (CoC), which will be given to you by your dealer when the handover takes place. Please note that the actual weight specified in the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is also a standardised value. Since there is a legally permissible tolerance of ± 5% for the weight in driveable condition – as an element of the actual weight (see section 2.), the actual weight can deviate accordingly from the specified nominal value accordingly.

This means that only so much additional equipment can be ordered and installed at the factory that there is still sufficient free weight for luggage and other accessories (the so-called payload) without exceeding the technically permissible gross weight. The payload is calculated by deducting the weight in driveable condition (nominal value in accordance with the sales documents, see section 2.), the weight of the passengers (see section 3.) and the manufacturer-defined maximum weight for additional equipment from the technically permissible gross weight (see section 1.). For motorhomes, the European legislation prescribes a fixed minimum payload, which must remain for luggage or other accessories which are not installed in the factory. This minimum payload is calculated as follows: Minimum payload in kg ≥ 10 * (n + L) For a motorhome with a length of 7 m and 4 approved seats (including the driver), the minimum payload is 10 kg * (4 + 7) = 110 kg, for example. Whereby the following applies: „n“ = maximum number of passengers plus the driver and „L“ = total length of vehicle in metres (including decimal places). 3,500 kg - 2,900 kg - 3*75 kg - 110 kg = 265 kg Technically permissible gross weight Weight in driveable condition Weight of passengers Minimum payload Additional equipment Please note that this calculation is based on the standard value for the weight in driveable condition that is specified during the type approval procedure, without taking into the permissible weight deviations for the weight in driveable condition (see section 2.). If the maximum permitted value for the additional equipment of 265 kg (as per the example) has almost or completely been used up, an upwards deviation in the weight in driveable condition may mean that the minimum payload of 110 kg is mathematically maintained using the standard value of the weight in driveable condition, but in actual fact there is no appropriate possibility of having a payload. When you are configuring your motorhome, please note that the payload must not fall below the minimum. To ensure that the minimum payload is adhered to, there is a maximum combination of additional equipment which can be ordered for each vehicle model. In the above-mentioned example with a minimum payload of 110 kg, the gross weight of the additional equipment for a vehicle with four approved seats (including the driver) and a weight in driveable condition of 2,900 kg should be a maximum of 265 kg: According to the legal definition, the so-called additional equipment includes all optional equipment parts that are not included in the standard equipment and is fitted to the vehicle by the the manufacturer (i.e. ex works) and can be ordered by the customer (e.g. awning, bicycle or motorcycle rack, satellite system, solar system, oven etc.). Information about the individual or package weights of the equipment packages, special equipment and options which can be ordered can be found in our sales documents. Other accessories that are retrofitted after delivery of the vehicle from the factory by the dealer or by you personally are not included in the special equipment in this sense. 5. MANUFACTURER‘S SPECIFIED MAXIMUM WEIGHT FOR ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AND PAYLOAD Since the installation of additional equipment is also subject to legal and technical limits, we determine the value of the maximum weight for additional equipment for each layout and vehicle which can be fitted to the vehicle in addition to the standard equipment (e.g. by selecting equipment packages and/or special equipment). This value must not be exceeded when you are selecting and configuring your vehicle. You will find information about the manufacturer‘s specified maximum weight for additional equpment in our sales documents (e.g. in the price lists). Illustration in the price list:

Limiting the amount of additional equipment is intended to ensure that the minimum payload, i.e. the legally prescribed free weight for luggage and other accessories, is also actually available for the payload in the vehicles which are delivered by the manufacturer. Since the actual weight of the specific vehicle is only determined when it is weighed at the end of the production line, it cannot be completely ruled out that in rare exceptional cases situations can arise whereby the minimum payload at the end of the production line is not guaranteed, despite this limitation of the additional equipment. In order to ensure the minimum payload in these cases as well, before delivery of the vehicle, the manufacturer will check with you and your dealer whether, for example, the vehicle weight is increased, the permissible number of seats will be reduced or additional equipment will be removed to reduce the weight so that you receive a vehicle which provides you with the legal minimum payload. The weights for additional equipment installed in the factory can be found in our sales documents (e.g. in the price lists). Illustration in the price list: The additional weight of additional equipment (all equipment items not included in the standard scope) increases the actual weight of the vehicle (= weight in driveable condition plus the selected additional equipment) and reduces the payload. The specified value shows the additional weight compared to the standard equipment of the respective layout. The gross weight of the selected additional equipment (equipment packages, special equipment and options) must not exceed the maximum weight for additional equipment specified by the manufacturer. 6. THE EFFECTS OF WEIGHT IN DRIVEABLE CONDITION TOLERANCES ON THE PAYLOAD Regardless of the minimum payload, you should also note that unavoidable production-related fluctuations in the weight in driveable condition have an effect on the remaining payload: If you order our example vehicle (see section 5.) with additional equipment with a gross weight of 150 kg, the calculated payload is 225 kg based on the default value for the weight in driveable condition. Due to the tolerances, the payload that is actually available may deviate from this value and may be higher or lower. If the weight in driveable condition of your vehicle is about 1% higher than the weight specified in the sales documents, the possible payload is reduced from 225 kg to 196 kg: 3,500 kg - 2,929 kg - 3*75 kg = 196 kg - 150 kg Technically permissible gross weight Actual weight in driveable condition of the vehicle (+ 1% on comparison to compared to the 2,900 kg specified in the sales documents) Weight of passengers Actual payload Additional equipment ordered for the specifically configured vehicle In order to be sure that the calculated payload is actually available, you should take the possible and permissible tolerances for the weight in driveable condition into consideration when you are selecting and configuring your vehicle. We also strongly recommend weighing the loaded motorhome on a weighbridge before every journey and, taking the individual weight of the passengers into consideration, determine whether the technically permissible gross weight and the technically permissible gross weight on the axles are complied with.

Carthago – More than just a company Dear motorhome enthusiasts, More than 40 years of the Carthago Group also means more than 40 years of the premium concept, diversity and technical know-how. Many things have grown within this time: our head office with production and a large sales exhibition in Aulendorf in Upper Swabia, and our plant in Odranci/Slovenia. The number of employees has also increased to more than 1500, we have more than 200 partners in Germany and abroad, and the diversity of our vehicles has expanded with numerous different models. However, one thing hasn’t changed: despite the use of state-of-the-art manufacturing methods, each Carthago has been manufactured with care and a considerable amount of craftsmanship and attention to detail for more than 40 years. We have put our heart and soul into the development of the Carthago Group. The only people we are indebted to are you, our customers. This independence was confirmed with the establishment of the Carthago family foundation in 2014, and will remain so in the future. You can put your trust in this as much as our employees do: the Carthago Group remains a dynamic family-run company with a great deal of motivation and passion, characterised by personal commitment. In order to ensure that our premium claim will also continue for future decades, we implement ideas quickly, think innovatively and abide by our Carthago Premium DNA. See for yourself: visit us online, at exhibitions, at Carthago City or at one of our dealers. We look forward to seeing you! Yours, Karl-Heinz Schuler Founder, owner and foundation chairman The people behind the family-run company are: Sabrina Schuler, Karl-Heinz Schuler and Sebastian Schuler 4

Carthago Liner premium-class body construction * Evaluation based on the figures from the Caravaning Industrie Verbandes e.V. (Caravanning Industry Association) The Carthago Premium DNA We find that only the best is good enough Carthago has been an independent family-run company and permanent feature at the pinnacle of the motorhome industry for more than 40 years. Company founder and owner Karl-Heinz Schuler talks about what constitutes the Carthago premium DNA, why every Carthago motorhome is something very special and what unites the two at the same time. Mr. Schuler, when did you decide to work in the caravanning industry? KARL-HEINZ SCHULER Panel Van Conversions caught my attention on many occasions whilst I was studying. I examined them more closely at the time, and something became clear to me in an instant: we can do better than that! The foundations for Carthago were laid with this idea and motivation. 6 i

How do Carthago drivers benefit from the premium DNA? KARL-HEINZ SCHULER Our core expertise is in motorhomes in the Liner premium class. Our 40 years of experience in this area flow into every stage of development and manufacturing. We think that only the best is good enough for the comfort and safety of our customers! Not only do we provide maximum durability and value retention, safety, protection and comfort. It is just as important to us to implement every idea and every innovation in practice, and make everyday travelling as enjoyable as possible. This applies to all of our vehicles – be it a 3.5 t lightweight model or the liner class above the 3.5 t weight class. and therefore a synonym for exclusivity and quality. Or, to put it simply, Carthago stands for “The Motorhome”. 7

PLATZ Carthago C-Compactline I Integrierte bis 80000€ The clear evaluation of the experts Carthago – excellent motorhomes As an innovation and quality leader, Carthago sets standards in the motorhome industry time and time again. This has been confirmed in surveys and comparisons by the people who should know best: our customers. Their verdict is extremely important to us! The thing that we appreciate most about our liner-for-two is the extremely luxurious and spacious interior. The spacious feeling is unique thanks to the round lounge seating area in the rear and the large lengthways single beds, which can be conveniently raised out of the way throughout the day. Due to the unlimited payload options, we chose an Iveco Daily as our basic vehicle, which goes together perfectly with the Carthago storage space concept, by the way. We love and enjoy our Kalle almost every weekend, and also when we’re on holiday, of course. Our Carthago chic s-plus will fulfil your wishes in every respect! We were immediately impressed by the cosy feeling of spaciousness and the modern and light design. The high payload reserves and trailer load fulfil all of our requirements. We can easily conquer any incline in our s-plus, even with a trailer. The equipment works perfectly, regardless of whether it is the ALDE warm water heating, the water supply or the fridge. We would choose the Carthago s-plus every time! Karin & Josef | c-tourer Lightweight We have been proud Carthago owners since 2012! Last year, we celebrated our retirement with a new chic c-line 5.9 XL LE. We already had three Carthago motorhomes previously, from the c-line to the e-line and the s-plus. We have had no problems worth mentioning. We started the “Carthagofans group about seven years ago, since when we have also been the group administrators. We encounter delighted Carthago fans time and time again at our meetings, who then often become friends. Bärbel & Frank | chic c-line XL Kirstin & Jörg | liner-for-two Monika & Gerd | chic s-plus We love our Carthago c-tourer I 143 LE. It's very compact – not too big , but not too small, either. And it was important to us for it not to exceed the 3.5 t weight class. The amazing feeling of space combined with a unique interior gives us a cosy, warm feeling. We mainly travel as a couple, but every now and again our grandchildren come with us, and the drop-down bed solution in this weight class is ideal for this, and perfect for four people! The lengthways single beds, the large combined washroom, the kitchen and the large garage for bicycles or a motor bike round off the entire thing for us! We simply love going on trips , in our Calimero and discovering the most beautiful places in Europe! 10

The fluffy upholstery invites you to spend time around the stable table with an appropriately sized top, which can be moved in all directions after releasing the brake using the foot pedal, so that the driver’s cabin seats can be incorporated by swivelling them round. […] The neat corner kitchen awaits with plenty of storage space in the large wall cabinet and a total of seven drawers.” Promobil 09/2021, c-tourer Comfort, comparison test “A very well thought out and useful concept. To the right of the wide, fully closing habitation door, the L-shaped seating area has a side bench, which simultaneously acts as a step for accessing the drop-down bed, which is lowered by pulling a handle. This means that there is no need for an additional ladder. [...] The solid flaps with the concealed hinges are a particularly impressive exterior feature. The large water tanks and the useful large storage compartment in the heated double floor with integrated central water drain also have practical advantages.” AutoBild Reisemobil, 07/2021, chic e-line, test “With a habitation width of just 2.12 m, the slender Carthago c-compactline will fit through all sorts of gaps. It also has advantages such as the Carthago driver’s cabin visibility concept, the bus mirrors and the tapering front with the clear view. […] The layouts and the “smartline” furniture architecture are adapted to the slim mid-section – travellers don't need to go without anything but a few centimetres of external width.“ Camping 02/2022, c-compactline Super-Lightweight, introduction “The name of the model says it all: Liner-for-two means that couples can expect a particular kind of luxury. [...] As well as the spaciously designed round lounge seating area in the rear, the top Carthago model provides electrically lowerable lengthways single beds with a spacious, continuous sleeping surface, an extra-wide kitchen with an elegantly curved worktop and a comfort luxury washroom, among other things.” Liner Wohnmobile 01/2022, liner for two, introduction “Because of the fact that the wheelbase is about 60 centimetres shorter, the Carthago is somewhat easier to handle in comparison. It scores points with the improved view to the front, since the dashboard slopes forwards and the windscreen extends downwards. […] Elegant and practical: A shoe cabinet swivels out of the L-shaped seat bench – a typical Carthago detail.” Reisemobil International 11/2021, chic c-line I, comparison test “Carthago is giving its Liner class some more finishing touches for the new season: The seat group of the XL layouts has been rounded to create more freedom of movement, and the capsule coffee maker in the overhead storage compartment now has a lift for even more convenience.” AutoBild Reisemobil, 02/2021, chic s-plus, introduction of the new features Press opinions 11
