We're doing great aren't we, see you deleted your non working link Rob

It didn't work for me either from here, nor from the prior page I linked to, something seemed to be going wrong on the URL

Looks like the forum software is adding a space after "cara" and before "van" , take the text below, remove the leading asterisks and the space

**https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... iy-caravan

or go to the pdf

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... orhome.pdf

Is this some forum spellchecker rule that should be disabled ?

Try going here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and typing "registering a campervan conversion" into the keywords box.

It's already a camper van so I'm not changing it so I'm a bit confused as to how I can do this.

It's in the pdf - send them a letter (sample provided as a link in the pdf) and the evidence they need.

If your T25 meets the requirements stated (see it as a checklist), they should change the class, though actual experience of the DVLA varies widely from immensely helpful to downright awkward.

I guess you are looking for advice from someone who has done it, helped a few with tax class changes, but not to camper.
