So I'm off to Berlin for Christmas and then Munich for New Years (sailing to/from Hook of Holland).

I've had it confirmed I don't need to pay the Belgium (if I end up there, unlikely) or German HGV tolls, but struggling to find out if I do for the Netherlands.

The information is "ambiguous" I'm over 12 tonnes but not a " Heavy goods vehicle", anyone got a definative source on wether I need one or not?
 
Netherlands AFAIK operates the Eurovignette system so HGV over 12 tonne which seems to be cut off point in most countries. I cant find anything on any sites that mentions tolls below that . The toll in Netherlands doesnt apply to coaches . So going by that as legislators never envisage a RV
of size we drive I would be pretty sure you would be OK .You are not a HGV , have a look on your V5 under vehicle category it should have M1 .
Category M1: Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat.
as long as it hasnt got N3 you are a car :)
Category N3: Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and having a maximum mass exceeding 12 tonnes.
Mine is 11.9 tonne so just under anyway , but some countries use 3.5t but then its any vehicle not any HGV
HTSH
 
You don't need a vignette for Netherlands. But if you are going into towns in Germany you will need emissions disc, which normally a class 4 green disc for a Petrol /diesel cost about 9 euro's www.tolltickets.com also France and few more Countries are bringing them in.
