Department of Transport Survey

[hayhiker]

Has anyone else received one of these? It is an A4 4 page tick box survey being sent randomly to van owners, the reason given is to "understand van ownership and usage, and will steer future transport and environmental policies for the benefit of van users across Great Britain." Many of the questions are not relevant to motorhomes and campers etc, I have my doubts they want to benefit us, any thoughts?

As with anything of this nature, approach with caution!
Unclear what its about but as you say, won't be anything good....

Van statistics

Data and statistics about vans and their use in Great Britain.

www.gov.uk

That should take you to the survey

The survey seems to refer to "vans" not motor caravans which presumably have significantly different uses.

Any “survey” undertook by authorities is normally so they can screw us in some fashion

Cynical moi? Nagging I live in a real world any opportunity to turn us over they do so

Yes from what it says it is for van owners, can't see any good for motorhome owners coming out of this or any other D.O.T. survey for that matter.

In question 7 asking about, ever used and primary use, there is a section "Recreational/leisure and holidays (e.g, motorhome, campervan, dormobile)" so yes it does refer mainly to work vans but lso includes motorhomes and convertions

Or a " van with windows" aka recently converted motor caravan rejected by DVLA?
