unusual registration problem

[awtistiaeth goch]

Hi folks. sorry if the following is boring and I have looked around already to see if an an

swer already exists, but I have an unusual problem re changing my classification to motor caravan. I have built a motor caravan by bolting a rare MKP caravan bolted onto the rear of a 2012 Fiat Ducato 7-seat crew-cab. I think you'll all agree that it certainly looks like a motor caravan, and of course, that is exactly what it is as itis a caravan on a motor vehicle.. However, it is currently registered as having a body type of 'Flat Lorry' on the V5c and the list that DVLA give as types of body that can be converetd to a motor caravan excludes this body type, what am I supposed to register it as. It obvioulsy is not a flat lorry anymore, but neither is it any body type on their list

• ambulance
• box van
• goods
• insulated van
• light goods
• light van
• livestock carrier
• Luton van
• minibus
• MPV (multi-purpose vehicle)
• panel van
• specially fitted van
• special mobile unit
• van with side windows

It seems that there is not much benefit to registering as a motor caravan re speed limits etc anymore with teh latest info from DVLA being that it is what it is being used for and looks like to law enforcement agencies etc. that is important, (happy to afix decals it has an awning rail etc) but I have to presumably change the body type to something other than flat lorry. Hellllllllp!!!!!!!!!

At a quick glance it looks like a caravan that's being recovered.
