V5 Documentation - DVLA Rule Change for Motor Caravan Reregistration June 2019

Hi, a little help required re the V5. I have recently received my V5 from the DVLA for my T6 which was converted to a campervan by a local company. He sent the docs off with photos etc as per changes to the use etc of the vehicle and the returned V5 in my name just states the Van as a VAN/SIDE...

I wouldn’t bother wasting your time.

You’ll likely get “van with windows” classification

When you get through thread that @Ali-G sent you the link to, you might find that I summarised it quite well!

Actually @JOG’s advice is sound. If you use the search function & bother to read the results, it could save you a sore head

@JOG put it in the right context
Mines been changed on the log book, possibly one of the last ones before it changed
Wouldn't qualify anyway,
Does it make much difference really. NO
Value of van stays same, only difference is the 70mph on dual carriageways
I'm sure most of us speed at sometime

Ha ha, now you’ve opened up another can of worms.

Van Speed Limit?

what are the speed limits for a factory built kombi as I'm not 100% sure , had this conversation in work today. It's a commercial vehicle derived car UPDATE: see post #541

I thought that & then re-read the original post. No cooking facilities, so doesn’t qualify as a “motor Caravan” so any re-registration is moot.

Yeah, I saw that too, but does the rear seating mean the van would qualify as “dual purpose” so therefore car speeds?

Ooooh good point, dunno?

Yes.

Who cares? The OP doesn’t! After being provided with all the information, there is no clarity on whether a re-registration is sought or a defence against any future prosecution notice!

Agreed, but I think it’s important that any future newbie who manages to use the search function, gets the correct info.

Fair point! The search function is limited and it’s even easier to use google to search the forum. Equally, when members have handed the info sought on a plate…!

Hi ,just spoken to a guy today and he said dvla have got really strict on re-registering a panel and I will struggle to register a panel van as a kombi and be able to drive a 70 mph on a dual carriageway,is this true?

Hope not! I'm waiting for my v5 to come back!
