    Little tip - if you add a false business to the side of it, it'll be less likely to be stopped or have suspicions raised when you pull over somewhere.

      Hi, new subscriber here..
      I was wondering if you're aware of the new dvla regulations on van conversions ?
      Any commercial vehicle converted into a camper must have 3 windows on the sides
      ( one and 2 )
      Plus decals on the outside denoting it as a camper...
      If this is not done , and declared to dvla and your insurance provider, a pig could charge you with DRIVING WITHOUT VALID INSURANCE.
      Obviously this legislation is aimed at criminalising problems who operate stealth vans .....
      I'm sure you'll be aware that driving without valid insurance will result in the vehicle being seized and possibly crushed by the pigs .

    You probably know this by now Mate, but just for the benefit of UK viewers, it's wise to check your insurance because many of them stipulate that you MUST have a fire extinguisher, especially if there's any kind of gas/cooking fuel in the vehicle- otherwise your insurance might be invalid.
