What is a campervan

[geordie]

Right you lot I got a question for you!

Was chatting to a mate about campers
And was told a true camper has to have
A fixed sink/hop & rock in roll bed :shock:
according to the DVLA :shock:
If it doesn't then it's not a camper :roll:

 

[trinketpimp]

I was told the same by my ex insurance company [Norton] wouldn't insure my panel van as it never contained that lot and if it did it would have to have a certificate from a genuine van fitter....

 

[geordie]

This is what I was waiting for thanks
So if you have a accident in your bus
And it's classed as a camper and it doesn't
Have the above then you could land yourself
In trouble with the insurance :shock:

According to the DVLA web site, this is the spec for a 'Motor caravan':

Motor vehicles ... constructed to include living accommodation which contains at
least the following equipment :
• seats and a table,
• sleeping accommodation which may be converted from the seats,
• cooking facilities,
• storage facilities.
This equipment must be rigidly fixed to the living compartment, however the table may be designed
to be easily removable.

So it has to have a fixed cooker :?:

 

[bluenose]

the rules at glasto are if you haven't got a fixed cooker or sink you can't go on the campervan area

 

[oorwullie]

you think you have problems?

there is one federal state in switzerland that demands 70% of the volume of the vehicle to be filled with furniture and cupboards before they'll declare it a camper.

other places here it's even possible to get camper classification with one of them hang up plastic bags as the running water equipment.............

I remember reading about the fixed sink/ cooker for insurance purposes. Interesting about Glastonbury requirements...who has a fixed cooker, isn't that a late bay thing? I'll point them to my 'Campmobile' sticker on the sink. Haha proof!

Dont worry, theyre not that arsed, they just dont want transits with mattresses in the back

 

[magoo]

Or crusty convoys on the way to Stonehenge!

 

[faux]

So that makes a Westfalia campmobile not a camper due to the lack of a fixed cooker. As far as I am aware US regulations stopped cookers being fitted.

got mine down as a day van with cherished.

my first VW was a 67 splittie with an extendible kitchen table in the back and and a mattresse on the top.

in 1976 nobody at the glastonbury door was asking if it was officially and legally a camper............ :lol:

So my garage isnt a garage at all then in the eyes of the DVLA its actually a camper van as its got a sink and a cooker and a folding bed, hmm interesting that my microbus is stored inside a campervan.

oh no im wrong its not a campervan as the cooker aint fixed, its ****** still. phew thank goodness for that.

ps mines insured as a vw t2 with lowered suspension, strangley the lowered suspension put the price down. lovely
