crazy really, cant remember the amount of times i have been doing 70mph, ahem, and a merc sprinter has come past me like i was stood still.

i have got a vauxhall combo van which is corsa derived but doesnt look like a corsa on the back. i am well comfused.

So according to that even if the camper was re-classed as a motorcaravan it can still only do 50 on a-roads and 60 on dual carriageways/motorways

confused indeed

[billybigspud]

suppose if you class ya kids as a payload and how much they weigh. all most confusing so i am positive most of the brain dead coppers round here would not have a clue either.

That's the old website; this is the new one http://www.dft.gov.uk/topics/road-safety/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It still gives the same speed limits for vans but if you get it re-registered as a motorhome it is no longer considered a van and is not subject to van limits

I just copied this from a camper building site.

Might be able to travel faster - Vans with an unladen weight of under 3050kg can travel at a maximum of 60mph on a dual carriageway.  But this increases to 70mph on a dual carriageway for vehicles registered as campervans.  All other speed limits remain the same.  Vehicles with a unladen weight over 3050kg (i.e. all 3500kg vans) have no change in speed limit when re-registering as a campervan.

Sorry I forgot the 3500 kg weight bit. That's for mahhssivee motorhomes though - not little us

Maybe this needs making sticky so nobody asks again

better in the Wiki than being a sticky. Sticky's tend to start queueing up at the top of forums...
