    looking at getting a post production van conversion camper. the one i am looking at presently is renault traffic. but the problem is, that it is not registered as a camper, before i even go look at it, am wondering how hard and what do you do to get the cert for it?

    If the internal roof height is over 1.8m, it has fixed bed, a hob and sink then it's possible with a VRT rate of 30% of market value. Road tax & Insurance would be reasonable. There's one on gumtree at the moment, is it the same one?.
    If it doesn't meet the requirements then it may have to stay as a commercial and taxed/insured at commercial rated plus annual DOE.
    If you decide to tax/insure it privately (ie. not a camper) then no requirement (yet) for NCT but pay private tax on it and private insurance.

    Looking at it, it doesn't appear to be over 1.8m internal height.
    Option A: Get a DOE test and tax/insure commercially. For DOE however you'd need to strip everything out for the test. Also if insured comercially you may be limited to usage. Tax around €250/year insurance €??
    Option B: Register it as a car. Pay VRT as it has changed from a commercial to a car. VRT would be 30% or omsp. Tax approx €600/year incurance €?? No NCT on private vans yet.
    Option C: Convince VRT & Tax office that it's a Camper. Pay 30% vrt but fight a loosing battle with Motor Tax office and end up paying €600/year as oppose to €90/year if a proper camper.
    I think for anybody converting a Camper conversion they should ensure internal height is over 1.8m as it's near impossible to register as a camper if not.

    hello.if it's the Renault on page 2 of the Gumtree camper van section, then it does not comply with height requirements,but if you tax it as a private vehicle you can get an NCT rather than a DOE, however there are high top Renault campers out there at a very reasonable price.:cool:
