Just an update to the process we have had to go through in order to register an RV for use in the UK. I took our all the relevant documents with me to the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) in Sheffield today, to register the RV for use in the UK (and of course Europe). They said ALL RV's need to be taken to a local VOSA (Vehicle & Operator Services Agency) station to be inspected for sizes. I made the point that this id NOT apply as our Newmar is OVER 10 years old. After a long time of discussion in the back offices. They said that if I brought the Motorhome to the DVLA on Thursday morning? They would check it out for registration suitability? I emailed DVLA in Swansea (the Head Office of DVLA) and posed the question about oversized RV's and the statement that it did NOT apply to RV's over 10 years old. In their reply. They made the same statement. We rang DVLA in Sheffield and told them what Head Office had stated in their email to me. They said. They were just going to check that our RV WAS in fact a Motorhome. They could NOT refuse to register because it was oversize under the NEW regulations. ;D
