Van with windows! (1 Viewer)

[LizG247]

Hi,
New to motor home fun, not a 'proper' motorhome (one day maybe), it's just a van with windows lol!
T4 transporter with full vanworks conversion.
Taken on my brother's VW T4 2.5 TDI.
Live in Weymouth, will be mainly using for day trips out and about, possibly a one or two night camp-out.
Have awnings, trailer, camping stove the lot!
Me, my husband and two dogs!
I was told it will be fun!
We'll see!
Liz.

If your T4 is fully converted, then you might just be interested in this thread about speed limits for vans with windows. Hope it helps

Apols if you are already aware, many aren’t as there is a lot of misinformation about.

Yes, my OH having a laugh.
The picture he's used is from when my brother bought it (plate belonged to seller).
My picture is from when my brother owned it, his plate, which I've kept. I've just bought it from his wife.
Sadly my brother died last month.
But OHB lives on with us now and will keep on touring as much as possible!!

Speed limits for a campervan classed as Van with Side windows ..

I recently posted the my Fiat Ducato Timberland PVC was incorrectly registered as a panel van. I applied to the DVLA to have it changed to Motor Caravan, the correct classification. It was rejected and returned classed as Van with Side Windows.. Only just realised, that this has an impact on...

Welcome to Fun

Seems to have lost the links..

Bottom line.
If your van is fully converted with all the required elements HERE then it IS a motor caravan regardless and van speed limits do not apply (unless you are over 3.05 tonnes U/L weight - different tules for these heavier vehicles)


The DVLA classification of a ‘motor caravan’ has no bearing on speed limits at all.

As admitted by the DVLA themselves. See attached letter.

The trouble is… Speed camera partnerships and automatic speed cameras (wrongly) use the DVLA database to check what speed limit applies to passing vehicles. Many unfortunates driving at 70 have just pleaded guilty when the scamera believes it should be doing 60 and automatically issues a ticket.

Those who are aware challenge any ticket and it is always dropped. It is a known problem that never seems to get resolved.
