Hi everyone, I’m new to this site, but wonder if anyone can help me. My hubby and I have very recently made the move to France, having renovated a little cottage over the last 5 years. We’ve brought our caravan with us which is a 2012 adria adora. We have a uk national caravan council certificate of conformity but the Prefecture in Perigueux won’t accept it. They aren’t being very helpful. I think we can get our caravan inspected ( or something?) so that we can get the necessary paperwork for a carte grise, but am struggling to find out how to sort it. Has anyone here any ideas or can anyone tell me what I need to do? Much appreciated, L
Thanks again, we did explain to adria France why we needed the c of c, but in their email they direct us to DRIRE. We will do some more investigating, thanks Roger. L
Seems strange did you say why you needed the certification?, had no problem from Fiat, Toyota, Ford and Hymer all in France. Perhaps a misunderstanding? but anyway try Adria U.K or Even Adria in the U.K importers asking for a European Certificate of Conformity ie CE certificate see here from 'Vos Droits'
soit le certificat de conformité européen original (l'original restitué par les autorités du pays dans lequel était immatriculé le véhicule ou le duplicata du certificat délivré par le constructeur ou son représentant dans le pays ou la copie du certificat certifiée conforme par les autorités du pays), soit une attestation d'identification à un type communautaire ;
A google translation is only approx!
either the original certificate of conformity European (original restored by the authorities of the country where the vehicle was registered or duplicate certificate issued by the manufacturer or its representative in the country or the copy of the certificate certified by the authorities of the country ) or a certificate of identification with a community-based;
Should that fail then an e-mail to Adria head office addressed to Matjz Grm, Director of Sales and Marketing Division detailing all the steps you have taken so far should provide an answer to your problems Adria Head Office address :-http://www.adria-mobil.com/int-en/2014/about-adria/company-presentation/
Adria France have emailed back saying they can’t help. So any ideas what I can do now?? L
Thanks, Roger, I’ll email them and see if they can help. Ta L
Adria also has an office in France see http://www.adria-france.com/ They will supply a C of C in French so that you can register your remorque. The C of C needs to be from the Manufacturer! not the NCC.
