  • Road tax

    I'm sure I read somewhere about the advantage of changing a van to a camper was a drop in road tax. Does this only apply to new-ish vehicles or ones as old as 2001?????

    Unsure, but tax would have cost me £260 as a van, but when I picked it up it was registered as a diesel car ( 5 seats) and cost £305!

      That's why my son got rid of his People carrier! If there isn't much difference in the road tax then perhaps it's not worth taking pics for the dvla at every stage etc.

        From what I have heard from quite a few people is that road tax doesn't reduce, it stays the same regardless of whether it is a van or a conversion. Apparently it does reduce your insurance, which I hopefully will find out in the coming months as I will change mine to a camper

          Will also allow you to increase your speed limit on 'A' roads and dual carriageways. 👍

            Reduces insurance, Dan at A-Plans told me that lol
            Reduces toll fees, commercial vehicles get raped up the arse! The guy who fitted my side window said some welsh guys in a commercial van had a side window fitted so they could cross the Seven bridge as a camper and it paid itself back in a month!

              Alternatively avoid troll roads like I do.
              They really annoy me we pay road tax to use the roads so why do we have to pay again to use a particular strech!!
              Around the brum/staffs area the m6 troll is the hub of everything stella the satnag won't go anywhere in that area without it!!!

                Agreed but I'm doing Run the Ring this month, not hopping off just to avoid the Dartford tunnel lol
                Or driving North Wales if I fancy going that way.
                For the sake of a few quid

                    If I used the toll roads it would cost 24 Euro a day (between two of us) to get to work.
