There is much discussion on here about the need to have a Euro6 emissions motorhome.. The focus being that the increasing number of LEZ will render the use of your motorhome going forward much reduced. The popular view is this restriction will increasingly apply both in the UK and in the EU. I’m pretty sure the pre Euro6 vehicles on here at least equal the post Euro6 so it’s a substantial number.
What if there was another approach? Why can’t we campaign to get all motorhomes exempt from any current or future LEZ?
So I’m thinking motorhomes are typically:
A long term investment.
Overall a specialist vehicle which ultimately represents a low number % of UK vehicles. (? Less than vehicles exempt by age?)
Low annual mileage
Overall low emissions foot print: solar, lpg etc
Encourage an active lifestyle: walking, cycling etc
Increases tourist spending in many areas.
I’m sure there are many other reasons I’ve missed.
Is there an opportunity for MHF to start, post the General Election, a campaign via our new local MPs or a petition via the government website to get some traction?
