Another simple successfull DVLA change to Motor Caravan
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 11:21 am
No issues, just returned after 2 weeks with the class changed 
- Not really nesc as my insurers don't seem to care but I guess it'll help further down the line.
Incidentally, for the MOT (as I have no working rear seatbelts), I removed the belts, and put the seat in the bed position, so there were no seats.. No probs.
I used the template: (I also changed the seating to 4 seats - thought it might not be a bad idea)
