DVLA motorhome reclassification - clarification

Petition Details

DVLA have recently changed the classification of a Campervan conversion which used to be under the classification of Motorhome, now all Campervan’s are being rejected and classified as a van with side windows - this is unacceptable.

Additional Information

The van life community would now like a full investigation into how the DVLA decide if a van can be re-classified. How many applications were accepted and how many were rejected in the past 12 months.

The exact requirements that will enable a campervan conversion to be re-classified.

Clear reasons given in rejection letters for why it has been rejected.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The requirements for changing the body type of a vehicle to a motor caravan are set out by the DVLA here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/converting-a-vehicle-into-a-motor-caravan/converting-a-vehicle-into-a-motor-caravan

If you are unhappy with a decision the DVLA has made about updating a registration certificate you should contact the DVLA to complain or appeal about this.

If you would like to request details of the number of applications to change a registration certificate you can request this information from the DVLA directly: www.gov.uk/make-a-freedom-of-information-request

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to review the requirements for changing the body type of a vehicle to a motor caravan, if that is what you want to happen.
