On that I disagree, as did a solicitor. The wording is ambiguous and poorly written and can be interpreted in many ways. "Two or more windows on at least one side". Solicitor says "Two or more windows (yes, you have 5, 3 on the roof, 2 on the sides) - on at least one side (yes, you use two...

Nothing to do with road tax, that stays the same for LGVs regardless of body type. There *may* be a difference with converted minibuses or HGVs but thats not something I've looked in to

Thanks - its working well for us. 75 days in its first year, aim to beat that this year :) See end of https://motorhomebuilder.com/threads/campervan-change-application.67388/ for more info Happy to answer more. But in summary after DVLA rejected all attempts with no valid reason (just stock...

As a final update, after a bit of a fight and ultimately contacting my MP, DLVA now agree its a Motor Caravan (no changes made to van since first attempt)

That does not matter My first application I sent off 20+ photos and a detailed letter, that was rejected Second application I sent off basic photos and basic letter, that was rejected Third application I sent off 1x page of A4 per requirement, containing multiple photos and details, that was...

Who me? I'm talking about last week. Unless things have changed since then My first van got through 1st time in 2016. This van, I first applied Jan 2021, again mid 2021, and again December 2021. Initiated complaints procedure December 2021, exec complaints procedure Jan/Feb 2022 and...

I had 3 failed attempts with various methods of documentation. Detailed with printed photos and letter. Brief with basic photos. And finally 1 page per requirement full of photos/details printed out. *be aware* they scan them in, I have been told when I called to email the photos again as...

Lets just say, not unexpected result as as we can't go away in it, I have time for plan B, C, D.... etc Watch this space :) New pic with better sun reflection of graphics - I think (obvs I'm biased) it looks more like a campervan than the pics I sent TBH - I'm just happy with it so I won't cry...

Thank for kind comments Its now officially a "van with windows" :D :D

Thanks, much appreciated :)

Thanks :) (a) to prevent rattle. (b) to give the wife something to do! Not sure I'd have bothered if I had to do it :D :D

Thanks for kind words :) Deffo unusual / unique (or at least, we've not seen one like it) - and certainly not to everyones taste. Think I was a little "chicken" in choice of standard colours - maybe could've been bolder and more modern. Not being a graphic designer, could easily have gone...

lol. Thanks for kind comments. You may be right! My first build was finished at the outset, but was smaller. this has a week or two to do still... Do you mean the oval main lights? They are very good - 500mA and one is enough for the entire space, but I like light so have lots :D The lights...

Chuffed its over - yes Chuffed its come our as designed - yes (very accurate to rough CAD model, so worth doing) Its not perfect, in my mind some things were easy lol - but workmanship isn't 100% perfect (Mr Pedantic) but the best I can do. There are errors - I just don't highlight them on the...

Well, after 6mths, >1000hrs, lots of spilt blood (literally), and lots of stress etc - I'm now saying the van is finished. Of course, many minor things to do but nothing really important. Its a MH2 (L2H2 / MWB) ducato, 2 berth, winterised. 300W solar; 2x110AH batteries; 20A MPPT; 20A 240v...

The word fact applies as it can be proven, if (note: *IF*) you don't overly want to use the cab seats, you can enlarge USABLE SPACE in the rear and make it less compromised. As I sad above, take a layout of any van (to scale) with a front lounge, non fixed bed. Edit and rearrange elements, and...

lol. Not at all - not my line. (Was Head of IT till I gave up full time work at 36 for a better play/life balance - (12 years ago!!!). now just do a bit of freelance IT work for customers I like) @NEC shows was paid to talk campervans. Not sell (fortunately)

Logic says you are right. Facts say you are wrong :) (Individual personal usage sways one way or the other) My dad agreed with you and thought we were mad. Then he saw it and said ahhhh - I see now - you are right. And not because he is my dad lol - he is critical when he needs to be...

Don't think so - anything was included in cost (IIRC cost was based on a per foot cost regardless) As for other comments, I do not feel belittiled so worry not. I always read/process all comments and advice - its how I learn to do what I do. I listen, absorb, and reject most of others views...

You are correct. I had a design to have angled back cushions (which regal could do), and the framework was going to be angles to match and hence make the top layer flat. The U shape area was challenging my brainpower though.... Anyway, the wife is currently suffering leg/foot issues (now a...
