DVLA Came through in the end

[bob72]

They finally reclassified my van as a 'Motorcaravan'!

Now I should be able to get cheaper insurance this year (and 365 day euro cover :cool1: )

It took them 6 weeks to tell us no last time, but only 3 weeks to tell us yes this time (i didn't change a thing just resent it :hammer

Not sure, tax was already reasonable around 200 per year I think - which reminds me I can't remember when its up so I should check!

Tax doesn't change, they only change the body type.

In any case if you manage to persuade them to change it from LGV to PLG (unlikely), tax will be more as it is based on engine size, and vans have big engines. LGV is a fixed rate about £200+

They screwed my tax up, dealer registered it as PLG, I had it re-classified to PHGV as it is over 3.5T, tax went down £60 per year

Yes, if you can get PHG that is lower one, but it's quite a rare classification and won't apply to most vans. Usually they are not very keen on changing tax bands even if you change the body, it has to be done when first registered.
