Is there any leeway so I can do both at the same time or should I just bite the bullet and change the classification in 6 months' time, in which case there's no need to SORN?
If insurance is the only driver to classifying as a motor caravan then it comes down to what Lifesure say.
Maybe there are other Lifesure users who could comment on whether their Bongo is registered as a PLG or Motor Caravan?
I spoke to the guy in the PO today. He advised me to tax it and then send off the changes afterwards. He said he didn't even know if he could change the classification on his system.
