Useful stuff there, thanks. Hope your wrist is still intact! I sleep pretty much alfresco so making beds is the chore! I am more interested in knowing if a slightly larger van say over 5m by 2m wide would constitute an infringement of local authority parking rules in the UK?

Thanks, being an older enthusiast I may need to avoid really old vans as i am not into repairing and mtnce. now and the cost would be prohibitive. I am also wondering if vans with the overhead cabin are also somewhat wider than say the Harmony type which can be used around town without parking...

Have the opportunity to buy a 1993 model any advice on rust and mechanical issues appreciated. Thanks. PS. It's done less than 40k.

I want a Peugeot Symphony (not had a MH before) or the like and I note they are just about 5.1m long for the SWB and about 5.25m for the MWB. 1. Thing is when I visit a town or any other place I want to park for a short visit (not over) is this length of vehicle too long? 2. Is there a DB of...

That's interesting about the VIN, good to check it with the V5C at time of viewing I guess. If one is going fairly long way could either stay somewhere where one can check on the internet overnight and conclude a deal the next day if all the checks come up OK? Things that need to be checked...

I was interested in motor home and phoned SAGA to get a quote on insurance and they said that the MH was on the DVLA DB as a "Van" NOT a MH. The owner said the V5C has "Motor Home" on it. Is this discrepancy normal and what is the reason(s) for it? As a result I cancelled my viewing. Thanks.

I cannot see how to access my post or get emails if they are contributed to. Is it possible?

I am interested in renault traffic campervan/home. Is it possible like many of the earlier cars to remove tha speedo and wind it back thus showing a lower mileage than really done? Any way of telling if this has been done (apart from obvious condition of course)?

New to this so I need. Campervan about £5k so this appears to be 1993 era. Any advice on what to look for, petrol diesel, etc much appreciated. Thanks.

Mileage please?
