🚐🔥 BIG NEWS FOR THE CAMPERVAN COMMUNITY! 🔥🚐
📢 DVLA GUIDANCE HAS CHANGED! 📢
For anyone converting a van into a camper, there’s some great positive news! 🎉
The DVLA’s updated guidance now includes pop-top elevating roofs as an accepted external feature when considering whether a vehicle can be reclassified as a motor caravan on its V5C! 🙌
Previously, pop-top roofs were specifically excluded from the external features list, making things frustrating for many campervan owners and converters.
✅ Pop-top roofs are now included in the guidance
✅ More flexibility for campervan conversions
✅ A positive step for the campervan community!
⚠️ Important: This doesn’t mean every van with a pop-top will automatically be registered as a motor caravan. The vehicle must still meet the required internal features, and the DVLA will assess each application individually.
At My Camper Conversions we are passionate about helping you turn your van into the camper you’ve always wanted — whether that’s a full conversion, a pop-top camper, a partial build.
Bespoke furniture creations.
