I hav'nt checked but maybe I forgot to post the email that I recieved from the head of department of HGV and PSV in Swansea. Good morning, These are the definitions in The Road Vehicles(Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 as amended. motor caravan a motor vehicle which is...

I dont suppose for one minute they care Trev, so long as you keep purchasing their goods they are not going to say its illegal. Phil

I have now spoken to the Camping and caravan club, they were also not aware of this situation and have asked that we try and find out who in particular was find for this offence, so that their legal team can investigate the case as if it has happened a precedence will have been created and it...

I think I'll wait and see what the Caravan club come up with first Wildebus before I go any further 🙂 Phil

I have now passed all the details and emails to the Caravan and Motorhome clubs technical dept, they were totally unaware of this situation and have promised to investigate and get back to me. Phil

Did wonder what had happened to Geoff, glad he's found his way home.😁Phil

This is an interesting read. https://www.commercialmotor.com/news/government-targets-dvsa-funding-changes Its as I thought DVSA are now self funding, and it looks like they have found a gravy train in motorhomers.😤Phil.

Ok further to an email l sent to DVSA asking for further clarification, this is a reply from a slightly higher authority in the DVSA. Good morning, These are the definitions in The Road Vehicles(Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 as amended. motor caravan a motor vehicle which is...

It seems Trev that you and I are the only ones interested in our rights, admittedly we as 3500kg vehicles would probably never carry a motorbike in anycase so it really does not concern us but I have always been a person that stands for the under dog and bureaucratic bullshit, this case seems...

To add to my last, police officers are not qualified in construction an use, and therefore can only instruct you to go to an mot station to verify that your vehicle comply's to construction and use and if you dont present your vehicle to an mot station within the specified time you can then be...

Right folks I have had a reply from DVSA, and is as follows, Dear Mr Day Thank you for your email dated 3 February 2019, concerning carrying a motorised scooter in a motorhome. DVSA can only provide advice for the MOT regulations, and, for the purpose of the MOT test, your vehicle is...

Ok folks I've email ( VOSA ) DVSA, and asked the definative answer to this question of carrying a motor cycle in the garage. I will publish their answer to this thread. Phil

Ok Phil, I'll email them tomorrow and put the question. Just thought somebody would take up the battle flag, but we'll see what they say. Phil

3 years ago I wrote to VOSA over clarification on 13 month mot status as their explanation on their site was ambiguous, I got a reply from them with clarification and a change to their written explanation on their web site, I might add that they changed the wording to how I had originally...

I think you've nailed it wildebus, that is a far more likely situation, I often wonder how much over weight some of these motorhomes are when carrying motor scooters/bikes not necessarily total vehicle weight but certainly rear axle weight. Phil

Just as an aside to this thread, if it were illegal then this company would be chancing their arm a bit, this is just one advert of hundreds. Phil...

Find that hard to believe Trev as some of the flimsies are actually sold on the fact that you can carry a scooter in the garage. Phil.

Think what he is saying Brett is unless you have a solar panel array that supplies vast amperage you can not run fridge, tv and lights off it alone, especially at night or on dark cloudy winter days. The battery is what runs your equipment and the solar panel tries to top up the battery when the...

When I had my boat I used one, admittedly it was 15 years ago but I have to say it seemed to be pretty much useless, wether the technology has improved since that time for small panels like that I'm not sure. Phil
