Hi All,

I've been looking around for clear advice regarding how much (if at all) road tax would change for my 2008 T30 130 2.5 4MOTION if I were to reclassify it as a motor home when I've finished my conversion, but there appears to be a lot of confusion.

At the moment it's taxed as a light goods vehicle so I pay £230. All of the emissions details on my V5 are blank but according to online checks, my T5 is in band L (CO2 240) so would be £500.

Could any of you lovely people confirm if I would see a massive hike in road tax if I were to reclassify it or, as there's no emissions data on my V5, would I still pay the lower rate? Would the emissions data be added to the V5 if I were to reclassify it?

Any and all advice would be most welcome.

Thanks,
David

mine stayed as lgv and £230 when reclassified as motorcaravan

Perfect, thank you!

The closest I found to clear information was http://www.ukmotorhomes.net/motorhome-faqs/3-motorhome-road-tax but the wording was still a little fuzzy.

I think the translation is that vehicles that are reclassified from LGV to motorhome are taxed based on their weight and not their emissions, but it's good to have real-world proof.

We still pay LGV.

it's because only the body type changes to Motorhome but the vehicle class remains LGV.

Nice! Pretty happy with that.

Now I just have to convert the thing... *rolls up sleeves*
