I know I feel like a traiter but with my RA it was getting harder for us in the VW and Bill is 62 this year and we thought it was time we grew up a little bit and we can fit more booze in this once we removed the seats. We have just put the T4 on the forum for sale.

For now Mr B we are just going to take the seats out and stick a bed and a cooker in to get it changed at the dvla to a camper van/motorhome. But cheers I am sure we will need some advice at so!e point.

I am like that very spontaneous if I stopped to think about things I would talk myself out of it so I make a decision then I act. Not come a cropper yet but I will one day.
 
I think its going to take a bit more than a bed and cooker, for the dvla to reclass it, but you will have fun doing it, and you can put things where you want them. I am in the process of doing a Mercedes lwb 614d,
 
any advise

If anyone has advice on how to get it reclassified I would be very grateful as that is my second hurdle my first is to get insurance to get it back to bradford from saltburn by the sea.
 
Good on you Annie, can't wait to see the finished van, something I've always fancied having a go at.
 
Oh my Annie I thought I was the impulsive one on here :)
Cant wait to see it ...does that mean your van for sale :bow:

If it was and I had the money I would of bit your arm off....I freakin loved your van :)

Ps ...sorry just saw your advert ...If I win some money on tonites lottery I will be knockin on your door in the morning :)

Lots of glass to deal with - good luck.
Keep us posted as to how your build goes and some pics would be great
 
You are going to enjoy your project, I loved my Iveco Daily, first trip out was with a double air bed, table, two chairs and a two ring cooker, and that was to the South of France, we changed our minds with some ideas as we were using it, if you need temporary insurance there are company who do 1 - 28 days such as this one, also Aviva lots more on google
 
why are you re-classifying it ? what weight is it and have you got insurance for it.
reason i ask is i had a bit of trouble getting insurance on a minibus even though i'd taken out the seats. the weight may be more than your licence allows. DVLA can be a bit strict. it has to look like a camper,with a bed,table,cooker and sink,plus a couple of cupboards . insurance companies don't normally insist on it being re classed,just want to know what you've done.

Look at the temporary ones to get it back until you are ready to put it on the road then look at your options again
