Iveco 75 E17 Eurocargo Ex Prison transport self built conversion

Wow, lovely job you've done there, how do you get on with camping/caravan sites? have you ever had problems being allowed on?
 
That is an impressive conversion. if G4 offered such luxurious transport i might consider becoming a criminal.
 
Thanks again for the comments everyone, as for being allowed on campsites, no problems so far but I have only used CL / CS type sites.
 
What an absolute load of crap fulltimer ,who the hell would want to fulltime in one of those vehicles:idea-007:

vehicle is based on an Iveco 75 E17 Eurocargo and has been re classified as a motorhome by DVLA. After stripping it of the 10 cells and any unwanted electrics etc it took me around 5 months to do the conversion and I have literally made everything except the appliances and the cushions.We have now been living in it for around 3-4 months mainly using CS sites at the moment but hope to get away somewhere asap.
I do actually do this type of work for a living within the family business so if any one self building needs any advice on anything give me a shout.

Lovely conversion. Writing this sitting in a 913 Ford Iveco Ex-Prison Truck.

Will sort out some photos at some point.
 
very nice...and you done it in such a short time ..well done...we have an iveco high top ..its been chalaging ill say we brought a lovely caravan and have been converting it over...we need two back windows for the back doors any idears....20"/26"....
 
Hello there and thanks, as for windows depends what sort you want or need, I think we get ours from autoglass some need fitting in rubber others are bonded but I'll check with my brother in the morning, as for the type with aluminium frames like I have used they came from Leisure Vehicle Windows and they will make to custom sizes as well ,
 
Out of curiosity, how many gallons to the mile does something like this drink??

Love the comfort.
 
Havn't been far with it yet since finishing the build but the chap who delivered the truck from Staffordshire said it did around 20 mpg. Here's hoping.
 
Nice truck

I too have converted a iveco 75e15 into a motorhome ,you say you have had it classed as a motorhome,does your road tax £165 per year stay the same,or does it go up?was thinking about reclassing mine as to get an mot easier (same as a car I believe) instead of having to go to Vosa £90 for mot £40 for a retest.was it simple enough to get it reclassed thanks
 
What a great job, absolutely Bucking Frilliant!!!!

:nicethread: :camper: :have fun: :cheers:

Hello there, Yes the tax stays the same as the taxation class is still PHGV, it is only the body type that gets changed to motor caravan, Mot is class 4 same as a car although you still need to find a testing station that can fit the vehicle in etc, I think the fee was £55.

Getting the vehicle changed to motor caravan was pretty easy for me, others have had problems since the DVLA now insist that the vehicle is immediately recognisable as a motor caravan by a member of the public as well as meeting the internal requirements there is a section about this on their website for guidance, I took pictures showing both the interior /exterior and visited the local DVLA office and the lady in there filled in the forms photocopied the pictures and sent everything off for me, new logbook arrived about a fortnight later, It might have been easier for me because it wasn't classed as a self build as I built it and bought everything through our family business, ( Huntsman Conversions)
